What is the value of the environment variable TMPDIR ? (echo $TMPDIR)
For this directory in TMPDIR do you have write access to it?
Can you create a directory and a file there ?

The tar in /tmp is part of the bootstrap install to avoid a catch-22.
For Q3: you need to have an Xserver running on the machine to display an X app.
For Q2: the default mode is 'vi' editing ("bindkey -v"). If you want 'emacs' editing
then in your ~/.cshrc set this ("bindkey -e").
back to Q1:
The TMPDIR can be written to, so this isn't the problem.
Try running pkg_add with the '-v' option to see what it gives.

To markfunk
The .netrc file usually should provide login ID & password.
To Rodney:
Thanx for 'bindkey -e' in .cshrc file. Much relieved. Don't like vi...
By the way Rodney do you have a long refined commented .cshrc file I could be inspired by.
If so then please mail it to me or provide it here in the forum. Thanx in advance.
Reg: Q1:
pkg_add with the '-v gives.

There's something really wierd about your system.
The output shows that tar has been re-clobbered.
With Interix a version of tar ships that doesn't handle
compressed files (gzip, bzip2) so the bootstrap install of the
installer places a version in /bin that does (and yes it still
does all the same actions as the original). Something is
restoring the /bin/tar file back to what shipped.
Is this machine some virtual machine installation?
Is there some AV software you have being very protective?
> By the way Rodney do you have a long refined commented .cshrc file I could be inspired by.
My .cshrc file is pretty concise. A few aliases and a few settings only.
Much more gets me chasing ghost-bugs for hours before remembering I aliased
something several months ago 
Here's what I use a lot; some of this is in the FAQ; I do prefer vi  :
bindkey -v
alias lo logout
alias ll ls -l
alias lt ls -lt
alias la ls -a
alias lf ls -F
alias j jobs
alias po popd
alias pu pushd
set history=200
alias psl 'ps -e -ostate,user=UserNames,pid,ppid,tty=TTY,args=CMD -Xunix'
alias hi history
set filec
set ignoreeof
set complete=enhance
setenv CFLAGS "-D_ALL_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT"
setenv CPPFLAGS "-D_ALL_SOURCE -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/local/include"
setenv LDFLAGS "-L/usr/local/lib"

Sorry for the delay:
Have tried reinstalling SFU and run the installer again.
Still tar does not work,
Man tar is from april 22 2005, which cannot be the shipped version IMHO.
pkg_info give:
/dev/fs/C/SFU/HOME> pkg_info
env_etc_irsconf-1.0-bin Version 1.0 of env_etc_irsconf for Interix.
env_manpath_local-1.0.7-bin Version 1.0.7 of env_manpath_local for Interix 3.5.
env_path_local-1.0.4-bin Version 1.0.4 of env_path_local for Interix 3.5.
ftp-3.5g-bin Version 3.5g of ftp for Interix.
gzip-1.3.3.10.1-bin Version 1.3.3.10.1 of gzip for Interix 3.5.
ls-1.2.2-bin Version 1.2.2 of ls for Interix.
pax-1.5.3-bin Version 1.5.3 of pax for Interix 3.5.
pkg-2.5.1-bin Version 2.5.1 of pkg for Interix.
Disabling AV software have no effect.
Can the new tar version be downloaded and installed manually ?

Over in another thread (http://www.interopsystems.com/tools/tm.aspx?m=8314&mpage=1&key=∓) Brian
has pointed to the "System Restore" as a reason for a problem he has been experiencing.
I'm wondering if you have this running on your system. It might explain why the files keep
getting reverted.

No 'system restore' only works if you ask it to restore.
It is turned on at my other PC with no prob for SFU.
Turning it off and reinstallling pkg_add clobbing does not help...
It download the files but tar cannot recognize them...
Would it be sound to copy /bin/tar from
my other PC where it works fine?

You can give it a try.
The bootstrap installer output that you quoted clearly showed it was installed.
So I won't be surprised if something reverts it again. It's very weird.

my bin looks like this:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 Administrator +Administrators 593B Nov 8 2003 whoami*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 Administrator +Administrators 81.5K Nov 8 2003 who*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 Administrator +Administrators 69.5K Nov 8 2003 [*
-rwxrwxr-x 2 Administrator +Administrators 264K May 13 2005 tar*
-rwxrwxr-x 2 Administrator +Administrators 264K May 13 2005 pax*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 Administrator +Administrators 784K Oct 4 2005 ftp*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 Administrator +Administrators 144B Oct 16 04:47 ftp-ls*
Does the '2' in the second collumn mean that there is two executables (tar* & pax*) coexisting ?
Should I then try to copy over also pax?

The link count is correct: tar and pax are the same binary.
So, yes.
