Proxies and Linux
 

Hello. I am trying to figure out how to assign a system wide user/pass for my proxy at work, and I am stumped. What I want to be able to do is ping www.whateversite.com and get through cleanly, so that I can use system update programs that run through the command line. Now I can surf the web and what not just fine, I have it pointed to my proxy and then I can just enter my user and pass as needed. But in the command line it never prompts me for it. I appreciate any help that I can recieve.

-onelung

well in this case u can only use those application that allow you to use proxy

i would be glad to know about any other posibility

regards

So is there no config file that I can asign user/pass variables that come into affect whenever something tries to get through the proxy?



-onelung

AFAIK ,u can do that in kde control panel, but that appiles to KDE applications only

regards
