Probably. You might ask your IT people if it is possible to have them configure an exception for your stuff. > What is the name of the base package system ...

I'm guessing /etc/apt/apt.conf wil be the most likely place for that sort of option. I seem to recall that "man apt.conf" was reasonably comprehensive. > I will use ntlmaps again. It was fun the first time... I've never used or heard of ntlmaps before, but Google found its home page for me. (It appears to be a sort of HTTP proxy gateway. It acts as an HTTP proxy client speaking NTLM authentication to an upstream proxy server that requires NTLM; it acts as an HTTP proxy server speaking BASIC/DIGEST to downstream clients which don't speak NTLM; and it bridges the two worlds.) It is likely your upstream proxy server supports other forms of authentication (such as BASIC or DIGEST), and may even have them enabled. If they're not enabled, you might ask your IT people to enable them. Or maybe it's easier to just deploy ntlmaps; your call. :) -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
