Hi,

I'm testing the "Signed Applet Example" on
http://www.javasoft.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/guide/security/.

Everything works _perfectly_ when I use the appletviewer ( jdk1.1.3
or jdk1.1.4 does not matter ) to write a file to my disk.=20
But when I use netscape ( 4.04 or 4.03j1 does not matter ) I keep=20
getting these messages when viewing the same url:

"Error: Invalid Hash of this JAR entry (-7882)
jar file: /.../.../jzip346B19EF02400D5
path: writeFile.class
Error: Strange PKCS7 or RSA failure (-7881)
jar file: /.../.../jzip346B19EF02400D5
path: /.../.../signExample/
Security Exception: checkwrite:/tmp/foo"

Please! Any hints how to solve this?

N.B. This happens regardless of platform solaris/linux/windows.
