error in ksh93 port - distfile out of sync?

[David Fleck]

I just got the following error trying to install ksh:

bender# make install

/usr/ports/distfiles/ksh93.

Stop in /usr/ports/shells/ksh93.


There seem to be two problems here.  First, AT&T seems to have a funky new 
username/password required to retrieve any files from their site.  Second, 
there is, AFAIK, no such distfile on the FreeBSD ftp server.

A further problem is that once you get past the authorization on the AT&T 
site, the distfile being searched for (INIT.2004-02-29.tgz) is no longer 
on the site; it has been replaced by the updated version 
(INIT.2005-02-02.freebsd.i386.tgz).
