Francois, the possible non-equivalent alternate origins for F432 are:

1	0.0000	0.0000	0.0000
2	0.2500	0.2500	0.2500
3	0.5000	0.5000	0.5000
4	0.7500	0.7500	0.7500

plus of course the symmetry-equivalent origins generated from these 4 by
the space-group centring (F) translations:

 	0.0000	0.5000	0.5000
 	0.5000	0.0000	0.5000
 	0.5000	0.5000	0.0000

So there will be 12 in all, which I think include the ones you
mentioned.

If you're going by
http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/dist/html/alternate_origins.html then you should
be aware of a very recent BB discussion in which it was pointed out that
the entries for F222, F23, F432 and possibly others are incomplete.

Eleanor has given me the task of checking & correcting this particular
documentation, until then don't trust it!

Of course you shouldn't trust reforigin either, just as you shouldn't
trust any program until you have verified that the results are sensible,
but I think in this particular the fault doesn't lie with reforigin.

Cheers
