Java in that version of Netscape is a serious security problem. There are known security exploits in Java in every version of Netscape to at least 4.74 (I forget if 4.75 was a Java or Javascript bug). Update your Navigator. You probably also ought to upgrade your FreeBSD. To 2.2.8 at the *very* least. However, there are known security problems in anything prior of 3.5 and 4.1.
