Hi Dinar,
I defined proxy in Yast2 and rug works fine, so it looks like rug now
uses proxy setting from /etc/sysconfig/proxy (I remember that in 10.0
rug -- then part of Red Carpet -- used its own settings.
But zypper fails. I'll re-check though.
Hmmm, it was something else. Maybe temporary unaccessible repository.
Now zypper works fine.
BTW, it uses proxy user and password from /root/.curlrc.
This file, though readable by root only, contains password in plain test.
I think it's not a good idea. Anyone with an access to Linux machine
can use another system (e.g. Knoppix, or Windows on dual boot machine)
and read it, unless /root is stored on encrypted FS.
I actually asked the same question on Novell forum regarding the Red
Carpet (about a year ago), since rug had also stored unencrypted proxy
password in the plain file, but have not got reasonable answer.
