[-- Attachment #1 --] I want to set HTTP_PROXY for all users on my machine, and I'd like to do it in /etc/login.conf as then it's only in one place. However, I need to put a colon in for the port number and can't see how to escape it so that the entry doesn't get chopped off halfway through. None of these work: :setenv=HTTP_PROXY=www-cache.private.submonkey.net:3128:\ :setenv=HTTP_PROXY=www-cache.private.submonkey.net\:3128:\ :setenv=HTTP_PROXY="www-cache.private.submonkey.net:3128":\ Is there a way to do this, or should I just throw this in /etc/profile and /etc/csh.cshrc instead?
