However, I always have to punch a temporary whole in my firewall to allow the traffic through. Is there a better way, other than allowing all ftp and www traffic from all sources in permanently? Perhaps telling make to use a socks4 or socks5 proxy? I didn't see a command-line switch browsing man make, but it just seems to me that Capt. Kirk and I can't be the only ones who don't want to lower our shields just to use the transporter. ;-) Both firewall and client are running 3.4-RELEASE, firewall is IPFW.
