RIS / AIRS used it a couple of years back before they got rid of thier
nix/bisync/mess to provide a slew of functionality as the locals
migrated to Windows. most of it was a holder for batch files during
some conversion to keep things patched together or to keep things
running - some of the batch files called bianaries and I remember it
being cool cause you could make calls to both Unix style stuff and, say
DCOM in the same batch file. I did not do the programming though.. I
watched, and prayed.
I've never used the NIS piece, which doesn't look trivial. But the base
tools work well and its fairly integrated.
I've never used Cygwin . but it looks way simpler if you need basic
functionality.

Has anyone here actually used SFU? I didn't get a whole lot of info from
MS's propoganda (ok, it seems clear that you can use telnet and NIS, neither
of which I use much of). How does it stack up against cygwin? I'd try it out
myself, but I have a bad feeling about installing cygwin and SFU on the same
box.

the Unix tool kit for windows is free.. and will allow you
to run a lot of Linux stuff in wondows ? You may be able to
just run squid.
looks like you can download it -

I'll double check and make sure this is the same thing I have on CD.
I'll get you a copy if its not.

Any suggestions?
Let me explain what I want to do, since "web proxy" means a lot of
different things.
I have a Windows laptop (eeeuuww!) that runs VPN software to
connect to
the intranet to work. I already forward ssh traffic from real
computers through the Windows laptop to hosts at work. I
would like to
also forward HTTP and HTTPS traffic from real computers through the
Windows laptop. So I was thinking I'd run an HTTP proxy
under Windows.
I'm not looking for anything to modify the content en route, just
something that can forward traffic.
Thanks.
