I have one of these at work and it's really annoying because of situations If you are allowed to bypass the proxy, try --use-proxy=off in your wget command line. Unfortunately proxy is the only way to access the Internet. It seems your FTP is proxied over HTTP and your client needs to support this. I'm not sure if wget supports HTTP proxies for FTP. Here is a document from Microsoft about configuring ISA and various clients: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb794745.aspx I'll read that, thanks. I think that you can try exporting your proxy's http address to ftp like so: # export ftp_proxy=http://my_proxy.com:1234; and then run emerge to see if you can get through. If your proxy requires a username/passwd you'll need to add these on the command line just as the handbook advises. -- Regards, Mick Hi You might find the problem is NTLM authentication.

RE: [gentoo-user] Office web filtering
Hi Stroller, I have found www.opendns.com to be a really good solution. However, it will be blanket cover for the whole lan and you won't be able to implement the time-based, or the user-based exceptions. Kind regards Brett Freer -Original Message- From: Stroller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 9 November 2008 4:37 AM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: [gentoo-user] Office web filtering Hi there, Anyone got any suggestions regarding web filtering for a small office of a dozen employees? I'd assume Squid + Google-it-you-lazy-git, but there are a couple of requirements that make my request a little unusual. Firstly, instead of simply blocking pr0n allowing everything else, the site primarily wants to block Hotmail Facebook. I assume that what this _really means_ is that they want to block everything by default and add a whitelist of work-related sites (it's an estate agent, so http://rightmove.co.uk would be on the whitelist, for instance). Secondly, they want to perform the blocking for most of the day, but relax the restrictions between 11am - 11:15am 1pm - 2pm. And thirdly, the bosses want to be excluded from the filtering. One obvious way to do this is filtering by their MAC or IP address - none of the staff are geek enough to get around this but nevertheless it's a bit clumsy requires maintenance if the boss gets a new laptop. So what I'd prefer is really some kind of system that pops up a message this site cannot be displayed because it is in the filter category [pr0n|frivolous]; if you would like to see it anyway, please enter your username password. I used to work at a place that displayed a similar message allowed with a single click a user to submit to the admin websites that had been blacklisted in error; so I am sure something like this is possible, I just don't know if it's available in open-source. Thanks in advance, Stroller.
RE: [gentoo-user] Deny flash to a specific user?
Hi Mark, With www.opendns.com, you create an account, and choose your own rules. I think they have around 50 categories to start with. You can then extend it with your own personal white/black lists. You can't block the flash technology, but you can have a lot of success blocking unwanted website types.

Hey Brett, I already point my router at these guys. Is there something more I could be doing? I've decided that for the most part this is probably a futile undertaking. It turns out some of his online classes are using Flash and certainly a lot of video media as port of how they teach. With that in mind it's pretty difficult for me to block the technologies themselves as a 'policy' decision. That leaves me with trying to block web sites which turns me real-time policeman which I'm unwilling to do so I've let him know that I'm watching how he uses the machines. It hasn't worked in the past though... Cheers, Mark On Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 12:53 AM, Brett Freer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Mark, Why don't you try www.opendns.com?
