No, my point is that there is no secr.tgz on ftp.netbsd.org, so if
the final images were built the same way as the beta's, I'll be
wasting a bunch of time downloading them only to have the same
problem.  Worse, since I won't be able to login, I won't be able
to fix the problem by grabing the sources and compiling them, or
ftp'ing the binaries from somewhere and installing them.

Well, the overnight ftp.netbsd.org -> pc532 download is done, now
for the slower pc532->SS LX transfer.  Perhaps tonight I can report
on the further success of this endeavor...
