Thanks to those who replied: Martin Pool Jerry Carter I assumed it was a bad .gz file on the Samba site. The problem was that I FTPd the file through a browser. When I FTPd using an FTP client, it gunziped fine. Apparently the browser caused some type of problem. Cheers, Christian Original Post below: I just upgraded to Solaris 8, and downloaded the the following binary package from www.samba.org: samba-2.2.7-sol8-suncc-64bit.pkg.gz When trying to gunzip it, here is my output: /home/ccampbell # gunzip samba-2.2.7-sol8-suncc-64bit.pkg.gz gunzip: samba-2.2.7-sol8-suncc-64bit.pkg.gz: not in gzip format /home/ccampbell # file samba-2.2.7-sol8-suncc-64bit.pkg.gz samba-2.2.7-sol8-suncc-64bit.pkg.gz: English text Yes...I did FTP in binary mode. I'm used to Solaris 2.6 and tar.Z files, not pkg.gz files.
