Hi,

I assume pam_auth.tar.gz can be downloaded on the internet.
So just create a temp dir (like /temp)

mkdir temp
cd temp
wget http://blablabla/pam_auth.tar.gz
tar -xzvf pam_auth.tar.gz

Hope this helps !

Hello,
When i want to mount floppy on e-smith server i just do that...:

mount /mnt/floppy
cp /mnt/floppy/X /tmp/   ( where X is the name of the file and /tmp/ the path of the directory where i want to copy the file
tar -xvzf *****.tar.gz ( just to untar and ungzip the file and after i feel as if you know what you whant to do).

It work on my e-smith server then i feel it will work on your server too.
