It has to ask you questions (like, "Are you in the United States?"), and you may have to install it as a port rather than a package. If you installed the ports distribution, go to /usr/ports/security/rsaref and do "make install". If you are not in the United States, make sure you are not getting it from a server in the United States. I could be remembering that wrong, though. You may have the option of installing it from sysinstall. >3.

What install option did you use? "Standard" or "Custom"? It sounds like your install process got rather confused, which can happen when you use "Custom" and don't understand the details of what is happening. If you did a custom install, I strongly recommend that you start over, and do a standard install. If you did a standard install, you will probably need to post a copy of your boot messages to get started figuring out what is going on (i.e. the output of "dmesg" right after you reboot). It would also help if you try to ping 127.0.0.1 and see what happens. If that seems successful, try pinging a system on your local network. If that works, try pinging one of the web sites you can't connect to. Also, is this a laptop system with a PCMCIA (PCCARD) network card, or a desktop system with a PCI network card? >4. I wasn't asked if I wanted to sync my clock with an outside source. Is >this because I didn't activate named? How can I activeate named now? >(stand/sysinstall?) Ummm... I don't have a 4.0 system running at the moment, but I thought that in the post install configuration it asks you if you want to enable ntpdate to set the system time from a remote system. named is not relevant to this (and you definitely do not want to run named unless you understand what it does in detail -- and it is not needed for probably 99.9% of the things you might plan to do). If your network interface is not working, you are certainly not going to be able to sync your clock to an outside source, so you probably should concentrate on one problem at a time. +-------------------------------------------------------- | Bob Johnson | bobj@atlantic.net +-------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
