was attempting an ftp install of 7.3 last night from ftp.suse.com, or 202.58.118.12, as I've coem to think of it. all was going swimmingly until it came to smbclient, when it began complaining that user and group "" and "roo" were missing, then that it was unable to install the archive on account of something called "bad magic." here, in fact, is the end of the log.
