Thanks for all the responses so far. Let me try to
summarize the issues and suggestions. Please correct
me if I miss something.
For those not familiar with NWAM, a one line summary
of NWAM related to this network proxy issue is that NWAM
tries to let a sys admin specify a network proxy configuration
based on the network environment automatically.
...
If the system administrator needs to do anything then it is
not "automagic", it is "semi-automagic".
I want to install Solaris on my laptop from a DVD, plug it into
the network and have it correctly use the proxies on the network
(lets assume they're using one of WPAD/SSDP/UPnP/Bonjourno)
without any manual intervention.
If I have to do *anything* with a shell or as root, then it is
not automagic enough for that word to apply.
Is that a reasonable goal for the NWAM project or is this
stretching its scope too far?
