I am trying to use apt-get from behind a firewall but am not sure exactly how to set up the apt.conf file. When I normally ftp to a site outside the firewall the procedure is as follows:
ftp uuu.vvv.www.xx userid: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@uuu.vvv.www.xx passwd: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@firewallpasswd (1) Should I copy the ftp part of the example in /usr/doc/apt/examples to my /etc/apt.conf file? (2) What is the meaning of the two proxy entries in the ftp part? (3) Which user and passwd entries should I use? There are two sets. And should I use it in the same way as when I normally ftp to a server outside the firewall? (4) What else should I do? (5) Using 2.2r6 Thanks Johan van der Walt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
