The gx-install-cadesc renames this directory (thus saving any cadesc files you may have modified>, then unpacks a new set of files into the etc/gx-map/ca-config directory.

The newest set of cadesc files can be found on the gx-map web page <http://users.sdsc.edu/~kst/gx-map/> and/or ftp site <ftp://ftp.sdsc.edu/pub/sdsc/globus/software/gx-map/>.
