You didn't exactly make this clear.. :-) Thanks for the additional
detail.
I'll make a general point here since some people don't seem to be
aware of a couple of things:
1. I get a LOT of email. Even if you just talked to me the day
before, please don't assume that I'll remember what we were
talking about. At any given time, I have between 40 and 50
simultaneous dialogs going on. Please include context.
2. If you're having problems, please be sure to include info
about version of FreeBSD you're using. The only exception
I can deal with is if you're genuinely using the absolutely
latest bang-up-to-date snapshot (check ftp.cdrom.com before
assuming that you've got the latest if you're not on the
freebsd-announce mailing list).
3. If you're reporting a "drop dead" problem then please list
all the steps you can remember that led up to the problem's
occurance. Everything after "first, I turned it on" is
generally relevant! If you give me too much detail, I'll
just filter it. If you give me too little, I'm left scratching
my head.
4. Yes, I'm pretty short-tempered and irritable right now.
You'd be too if you had Walnut Creek CDROM on the phone,
screeching for their 6 months late CD, and several dozens users
dropping horror stories in your mailbox about how everything is
still miserably broken.
All heads I've bitten off over the last few weeks will be
returned with a short apology after the 2.1 CD goes to
replication.. :-)

Well, I genuinely thought it was. I couldn't reproduce it on my
laptop, anyway. You're selecting *both* krb and des distributions
from the Secure menu? You can have des alone, but not krb alone.

I'm not slamming tags today. My release machine has developed
spontaneous sig 11's that aborted my last 3 release builds. I'm about
ready to throw it out the window or put in a 75Mhz Pentium. :-(
