Ohmygawd ... I forgot that certain things like Software Update would not work without a password to get past the firewall on our network. And the only avenue that gives a password prompt seems to be a web browser, so as soon as I opened a browser and typed a password, "fink selfupdate-cvs" worked. I keep forgetting because things like email and ftp don't need a password to get on the net. Thanks for jogging my memory :) -ms -- Many have Montana envy ... the lucky get to live here!
