The person replied that would not help, because apparently the problem is not so much the firewall, but rather the use of a proxy to access the WWW. He then said he did a web interface to allow people to upload files via the proxy instead of via FTP, which simply cannot be applied to something as complex as CVS. Eventually, the rationale is that if system administrators consider outgoing CVS traffic as a danger, there's nothing we can do to bypass this. -- Sylvain _______________________________________________ Savannah-help-public mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
