I'm the supadmin of ftp.hrz.uni-kassel.de. Maybe our stupid sysadmin
killed the supserver again. Give me 5 minutes to check this...

The server seems to be working, please check your supfile again. It
has to look like this:

current release=ksrc-amiga host=ftp.hrz.uni-kassel.de hostbase=/home/aFTP/ftp/pub/machines/amiga/NetBSD base=/vhe/rm600-d4/ah/NetBSD prefix=/vhe/rm600-d4/ah/NetBSD backup use-rel-suffix

If you still have problems, send Email to my address.
