No. "Recent versions of GNU tar expect a pair of zero blocks at the end of the file by default. If GNU tar encounters a lone zero block, even at the end, this is interpreted by GNU tar as a bad archive." (from http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21270445) if you use: tar ixvfz openssl-fips-2.0.9.tar.gz the problem goes away. Matt
