Greetings, I must first say that the ports collection is a fine piece of work. It allows novices like me to install software that I couldn't possibly do from scratch. Now my problem... I'm stuck behind a Novell firewall. Fortunately, I finally have access to the ftp proxy server but cannot figure out how to modify the Makefile or /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.ports.mk to get fetching to work. I must always ftp to the proxy server, then enter an NDS user followed by ftp user followed by ftp site. Then NDS password followed by ftp password. Here's an example.. host% ftp 10.10.10.1 Connected to 10.10.10.1. 220 Service Ready Name (10.10.10.1:djp): ftpuser.wiapp.nrc$anonymous$ftp.freebsd.org 331 Guest login ok, send your email address as password. Password: ndsPasswd$dpoland@execpc.com Consequently, every site I connect to will be 10.10.10.1 with the ftp user name determining the actual ftp location. I've searched the mail archives, handbook, diary, and man pages on how to do this but have come up empty. -- Doug Poland dpoland@execpc.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
