I am trying to do a pkg_add -r "pkg name" but I feel that this really does not protect myself from downloading trojan horses. If someone poisoned my DNS and put a fake entry instead of ftp.freebsd.org then I could download torjan instead of what I want. Are there MD5 signature of package files that I can verify ?? __________________________________________________________ Get your FREE personalized e-mail at http://www.canada.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
