[lists@anomie.dhis.org: Re: Netscape configuration; Fortify]
I'd be very interested to know details about how to do this. Searching the
list archive, someone else mentioned editing the index file, which I found,
but I don't know how to properly edit it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thx,

I had this same problem, if you use md5sum on the navigator-smorif.real
binary you'll find that the sum is different from that in Fortify's
Index file.
It worked for me just changing the sum in the Index file. YMMV.
