I think there is a better way. I had installed both 4.0b5 and 4.0b6, and
after upgrading to 4.0b6, I got the same error message about "no valid
policy file was found". I then went and checked the
"~root/.netscape/policyMoz40P1.jar", but it seems that 4.0b6 doesn't even
have this file. It now uses "/usr/local/netscape/moz40p3". (BTW, you can
use "unzip -v /usr/local/netscape/moz40p3" to see what is in it. ^_^)
No, you don't have to copy that file into your ~/.netscape/ either.
Rather, as recommended in README.install, set the environment variable
MOZILLA_HOME to /usr/local/netscape. For convenience, you may leave
the main binary "netscape" in /usr/local/netscape, and use the following
script as /usr/local/bin/netscape:
#!/bin/bash
EXPORT MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/local/netscape
/usr/local/netscape/netscape
or, you may prefer
#!/bin/bash
MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/local/netscape /usr/local/netscape/netscape
(I am kind of new to shell programming, so I don't know which one is
better. ^_^) Anyway, after doing so, the error message about encryption
went away. ^_^
