I've come across an interesting problem that I thought you may be able to help me with. Until a week and a half ago I was running Authoxy 1.2 under Mac OS 10.1.5, and it was working brilliantly, no problems whatsoever. However, I then installed Panther, and have had a problem with System Prefs which (I think) is related to Authoxy. It was happening while I was still running Authoxy 1.2, as well as Authoxy 2, which I installed today.
It seems that Apple have added a new tickable option to the "Proxies" section of the Network pane, which asks whether a certain proxy needs authentication.
I am assuming that this is Authoxy's job, and that this isn't needed. However when I try to untick this box, System Preferences "unexpectedly quits". It has happened literally dozens of times.
I think this is also linked to the fact that Authoxy won't save my username and password. It will save any other preference I enter, like the actual name of the proxy, but the username is reset to "noone" every time I open the Authoxy pane.
Everything seems to be working OK, however. I have fiddled around with things for the last hour or so but haven't been able to fix the "problem". Maybe it isn't a problem at all, and I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know if that is the case, but it doesn't seem right to me and I'm curious as to whether there is/will be a fix.
Thanks in advance for your help, Fleur
PS On a completely unrelated note: what exactly are .pac files?
