Hi Paul

Thanks you for your reply.
I updated all ports with csup, and now is good for nss_pam package.

I see on Freebsd gnat report same problem :

The answer to that is obvious.  The size and checksums are different because
the *file* is different.  That means that the file he's trying to download
hasn't been vetted by the maintainer to ensure that it's not compromised.

The way to solve this problem is (in the order you should do them)
1) Update your ports to see if the maintainer has corrected the problem
2) Download the source code and compare it with the md5sum of the vendor to
ensure that it's not compromised.  If the checksum matches, go into the port
directory and run "make makesum" to update the distinfo file.  (No need to
reinvent the wheel.)
3) Use DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES to foolishly install the software without first
verifying that it hasn't been compromised.

I'm thinking option one is probably best:

# make
=> nss_ldap-257.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/.
=> Attempting to fetch from http://www.padl.com/download/.
nss_ldap-257.tar.gz                           100% of  223 kB   36 kBps
===>  Extracting for nss_ldap-1.257
=> MD5 Checksum OK for nss_ldap-257.tar.gz.
=> SHA256 Checksum OK for nss_ldap-257.tar.gz.
