I have a problem with a box I upgraded from FreeBSD 6.2 To FreeBSD7 It seems the following is happening when I try use portupgrade -a or even building ports. ALL transfers that are FTP fail. Now to make this simple, I have following environmental variables set.. http_proxy=http://192.168.12.4:3128/ ftp_proxy=http://192.168.12.1:3128/ FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES And here is the strange thing.. Fetch fails, but if I use wget there is no problem. The firewall does allow ftp to go directly aswell, so I have also tried leaving out any and all proxy settings, this fails aswell. (Except for wget once again) And here is the crux. I have 5 mahcines on SAME network that has no issues like this, so this makes me think fetch is broke somehow. How can I force FreeBSD to use wget instead of fetch to bypass this? Ive tried setting env FETCH_CMD=wget but that results in wget failing with msg: Try `wget --help' for more options. => Attempting to fetch from http://mirror.sg.depaul.edu/pub/security/nmap/. wget: invalid option -- Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]... Thankx ahead!
