In article <24360.1289127112@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> you write:
I need to get sources for the Linux version of certain programs that
reside in a package called "bsdutils".

So get them, already. No need to screw around with Linux binary
installers, particularly not on the FreeBSD list:

http://packages.debian.org/lenny/bsdutils

Thank you John, I was not aware of this resource.

I now have what I need.

P.S. I am guessing that you are aware that I still get "Logic
Error" whenever I send mail to iecc.com (and I have been unable
to reply to Neil on account of that). But on the off chance that
this was unintentional, I mention it again, in case you might be
inclined to rectify. (I also guess that I am no longer on the
spamtools list, correct?)
