Hello, Something strange is going on.
I've used crack in past to check for weak passwords among my users when I was sysadmin for a small network of Sun workstations used by physicists for computation. So, I decided to install it on my current system to verify that I'm using reasonably good passwords. I tried to install it from the ports collection and it complained that it (a) couldn't find it in /usr/ports//usr/ports/distfiles -- therefore I fetched a copy of the same version that *should* have been in /usr/ports, installed it in /usr/ports/distfiles and tried again. And again. And ran rehash and tried again. And again. And again a few minutes ago. Here's what make had to say: ===> Vulnerability check disabled ===> Extracting for crack-5.0 => Checksum mismatch for crack5.0.tar.gz. ===> Refetch for 1 more times files: crack5.0.tar.gz ===> Vulnerability check disabled => crack5.0.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/. => Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/pwdutils/crack/. fetch: ftp://ftp.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/pwdutils/crack/crack5.0.tar.gz: size unknown fetch: ftp://ftp.cerias.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/pwdutils/crack/crack5.0.tar.gz: size of remote file is not known ^C And here's what ls has to say: PC% ls -gl /usr/ports/distfiles//crack* -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2945388 Mar 11 22:28 /usr/ports/distfiles//crack5.0.tar.gz Can you explain to me why it is that the port cannot find something that's there? I thought at first that it was a permission problem but: PC% ls -gl /usr/ports/distfiles/c* -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 16981 Aug 25 2001 /usr/ports/distfiles/cd-console-2.4.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2945388 Mar 11 22:28 /usr/ports/distfiles/crack5.0.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 167174 May 2 2003 /usr/ports/distfiles/crossword-0.8.3.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 16375 Jul 22 2002 /usr/ports/distfiles/crw-1.03.tar.gz PC% I've had various problems with the ports collection at times but can't recall it ever before being unable to file a file that is obviously there.
