Check the md5 checksums are right for the downloaded files. My guess is that Netscape isn't transferring them correctly. The checksums are listed in the file CHECKSUM.MD5 in the same directory you ftp'ed des.aa from (well, it should be, unfortunately I'm only seeing checksums for the kerberos files there). You can use the program 'md5' to generate a checksum. If they are not ok, or you can't verify them, try regetting them, preferably directly from the FreeBSD box so you can make sure they come in binary mode from the main ftp site. -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
