    The commit message had a typo. That's vsftpd-2.1.0. That would have been quite a jump.

    It's April 1! This should have a joke post, like announcing the inclusion of ndiswrapper in ports. Or better yet, in the base system. :-)

      I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, noone submitted a good joke this year, and the members of the team are really really busy these days...

        There weren't that many good ones this year.

    How do I coerce Firefox 3 to let me login into my undeadly account in OpenBSD?
    It tells me the certificate is invalid and refuses to add an exception.
    :(

      not sure why, but some people (me included) don't seem to have any problems, others do. you can try importing the cacert root though which might help:

      go to http://www.cacert.org/certs/root.crt and download the class 1 "Root Certificate (PEM Format)". then edit/preferences/advanced/encryption and click "view certificates". go to the authorities tab, click import, select the file you saved, on the next page set it as being valid for signing web server certificates.

        Thank you, I can login now. OpenBSD is supposed to include CAcert certificates by default.

        I wonder why this only happens to some.

          Firefox has its own certificate database, it doesn't use OpenSSL's. It includes such fine CAs as the one who issued the bogus mozilla.com certificate with validation, but not CAcert.

          > I wonder why this only happens to some.

          I know I have tweaked settings to stop me wanting to throw a brick at Firefox whenever I try and open a page with a self-signed cert, maybe that has something to do with it. 

           user_pref("browser.ssl_override_behavior", 2);
 user_pref("browser.xul.error_pages.expert_bad_cert", true);
