That's because the firewall made you authenticate to it first. Having dpkg-ftp know how to deal with those firewalls would be a plus, but then certain files better have theirs bits set right, because your password is going to be in one of them. It's hard to make things like that totally automatic. Shaya -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
