dselect/apt via non-NAT firewall

1999-08-26 Thread Brian McGroarty 
Is it possible to use dselect/apt via a non network address
translating (proxying) firewall?

Available are socks and a [EMAIL PROTECTED] ftp. (i.e. to connect to
ftp.debian.org as ftp, I 'ftp proxy' user '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
password whatever.)

Unfortunately our system administrator only understands Windows
and won't move to a real firewall/proxy; he's married to Wingate
because it's the only system he understands.

You need APT from potato (can get a slink version at
http://www.debian.org/~jgg/apt_0.3.11.1_i386.deb)

Then read apt.conf and look in /usr/doc/apt/examples/apt.conf.gz -
heading the warning to not copy the conf file directly. I think the
example in there is quite close to what wingate uses
