Ok, I'll have to get another snapshot then, until I purchase 4.x. Question for you and openbsd, there is a mirror at my provider ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD and so on. Does the OpenBSD project periodically cross-check for any possible trojans in these mirrors? Would you recommend getting the CKSUM and MD5 files periodically (and through other ISP's) to make sure that what one gets is really genuine? I know I'm often an idiot and often paranoia and mistrust have the upper hand, so how can I feel better about such a thing? I value your kind words. (the latest funny thing I had happen to my 4.0-beta was that on the local ftpd an mget on the ftp client failed with the error "read-only filesystem", which to me was interesting and discouraging since an mget would hardly write to disk right? This message only happened once, after that ftpd would spit back i/o error or something similar. I hardly have the time to check every source code and binary myself so I accepted what happened there and left it for the new year, this was on the local home LAN (non-wifi although there is wifi access)). -p -- Here my ticker tape .signature #### My name is Peter Philipp #### lynx -dump "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pufferfish&oldid=20768394"; | sed -n 131,137p #### http://centroid.eu #### So long and thanks for all the fish!!!
