Subject: Re: Self-Sign HowTo?

Hello,

I've been half heartedly trying to sign my applet for ... well
forever.  hehehe   Since I am way behind the times in the latest java
developments, I'm confused as to where I get "keytool" and "jarsigner" and
stuff.

I downloaded j2sdk v1.4.1 (yeah I know 1.4.2 is out but... ) but it
doesn't have a "jarsigner" and the "keytool" binary complains that
"libjvm.so failed because /var/tmp/j2..../libjvm.so: symbol sem_wait,
version GLIBC_2.1 not defined in file libpthread.so.0 with link time
reference"

Now also realize that this box is old as sin.  It's highly possible that
GLIBC version 2.1 isn't on this box.

Any comments?  Any help would be apprecaited.

Thanks,

-Ed.

ps--what benefits are there to signing the darn thing?
