hi, I just set up a new system with FBSD 4.5 behind a proxy server/firewall and I'm having a real pain getting ports installed. I followed logic and created /etc/make.conf with the following lines: $ cat /etc/make.conf | grep _PROXY FTP_PROXY= 10.100.10.100:1080 HTTP_PROXY= 10.100.10.100:3128 Those being the addresses of my proxies of course. All other machines that use the proxies work fine - ftp, ssh, http, whatever I need it works. I'll admit though, all of those machines are windows and this is the first time I set up a fbsd machine behind the proxy. Anyhow, even with the changes in the make.conf file, when I go to a port and run make, the machine still tries to make a direct connection (with fetch of course) instead of going through the proxy. I know this because I'm looking a tcp traffic logs while trying to install. So why aren't the ports using the make.conf proxy setting? In past experiences it always read it fine - well just for the USA_RESIDENT option. the make.conf on the machine in question only has the proxy lines (+usa resident and force register), and the proxy server is set up to accept connections from my new fbsd box. Sorry for the long question, but I just wanted to be clear. any help would be really appreciated, thanks!
