Hi Ryan,
The best place to start is by looking through 
/usr/pkgsrc/www/htdig/patches. That will tell you what NetBSD changes 
from the standard distro when it installs it. You may even be able to 
use pkgsrc to install it by overriding the checksum and changing the 
tarfile's name to match the older version.

Hmm, just to test, I was going to do the above stuff, but first I 
wanted to see what /etc/security was b*tching about. So I 'cd 
/usr/pkgsrc/www/htdig' and 'make install'. Hmm, it installed htdig 
3.1.6. Apparently you just need a newer pkgsrc. You should probably 
set up a cvs cron job to run nightly, since you've got a full-time 
connection.

HTH,
Mike
