Seems workable to me... you are using csh right?

I assume you just this it pasted in an extra time.  Else, it worked  
the first time but not the second, which would be strange.

hmm... working here for me when  pasted as above, 7:15pm EST 16th  
Oct.  I think that perhaps you need to do more work in the UK at 2 or  
3AM your time :)

Given that you used netbsd sources for samba etc, , you should be OK  
with the ones you used, they might be a little old if you got them  
from the 3.x release is all.  Unless /usr/local/ (I think you used  
that) as install directory isn't standard for some reason.  I haven't  
built those packages so don't have a reference install.

I'd give it some time to rest then try again.  ftp.netbsd.org was  
down when I sent that email last night (this AM? I forget) so it  
seems likely it was just having issues (i.e., Not Your Problem  
necessarily :)

I've run -current pkgsrc for ages but I think a lot of good stuff has  
rolled into the recent Q3 release so you certainly can just get that  
tarball if you like.  The syntax for specifying a given pkgsrc  
version via CVS  isn't necessary if you just grab the tarball for the  
pkgsrc Q3 as Eric mentioned :)  It should unpack into /usr/pkgsrc.

luck!
