Re: [newbie] Fortify install
Ok well I vaguely remember when picking packages that I don't think I installed Navigator thinking I didn't need both. Jr. click on your rpm button and cruise around a little and see if it is loaded. If it is click on it and the rpm program will tell you where it is installed. If it is not installed. Stick you mandrake disk on the cd rom and mount it then use your rpm program to find and install it. Rick -- "I don't want to swim in a roped off sea," JB

Okay since I started this I must ask .Why would anyone need to install both?

And what if it's using a totally different encryption algorithm from Fortify's? As I understand it, you get 128-bit encryption whether or not you're using a 40-bit encryption server or 128-bit encryption server. As for the encryption algorithm, I think those are pretty standardor else Fortify is using ALL of them. You'll have to check out Fortify's website to get the answers. I don't know the answers to all your questions. John

Re: [newbie] Fortify install
Call me lazy, but I just use the KDE archiver tool. Navigate to the file you wish to extract, Rt-Click the file, select Archiver, then in Archiver, File/Extract to ... Then I select the location where I want to decompress the archive, and "OK". I don't learn as much about using tar, or gzip, but I get the job done.

RE: [newbie] Fortify install
Dear Folks, Regarding Fortify. I have the 128-bit encrypted Netscape. The version that requires you to swear you are a Canadian or American citizen to download. The bottom line is I tested it on Fortify's site. They said the encryption is military weapons grade and I don't need their product. BTW, this applies to both my Windows and my Linux versions of Netscape. So I really don't know what all the fuss is about.

Re: [newbie] Fortify install
Dear Jeanette and friends: You need to fortify Netscape Communicator and Netscape Navigator separate. After you fortify Communicator, quit Fortify, then reenter the Fortify directory and restart it with ./Fortify.sh and this time choose option 2 for your directory (as before) and type /usr/lib/netscape/netscape-navigator instead of /usr/lib/netscape/netscape-communicator (assuming, of course, you have both Communicator and Navigagor installed on your system).

And second, when it prompts you for a yes/no, it doesn't want just a "y" or "n" response. It wants the WHOLE word. John

Try it this way: "tar xzvf Fortify-1.4.5-unix-x86.tar.gz" That pretty much does the same thing you were trying to do above, but does it in one step, instead of two steps.

The difference is if you go to a non-US-encryption level site, you'll only get the lower-level encryption. With Fortify, you get 128-bit encryption ALL the time, not just when talking to a 128-bit encryption host. John
