It appears that 1.4.1 has not been released officially... Looking in
/pub/NetBSD I see:

ftp> ls -lrt
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for '/bin/ls'.
total 74

[ ... deleted for space ...]

drwxrwxr-x   5 234   netbsd   512 Jun 28 02:17 NetBSD-release

[ ... deleted for space ...]

The directory 'NetBSD-1.4.1' is not accesible to those outside the
'netbsd' group. Checking the directory 'NetBSD-release' it looks like
there are tar files, but the dates on those tar files have been changing
almost daily for the past couple of weeks. For example, today I see:

ftp> pwd
257 "/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-release/tar_files/src" is the current directory.
ftp> ls -lrt
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for '/bin/ls'.

Is someone making last minute changes to these files before they get
moved to the /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.4.1 directory??
