Dear Team,
(Running a Sun Ultra 10, FBSD8.1)

I am encountering a problem -connecting to my proxy server,
I've tried editing the /etc/make.conf file with:
 Code: FETCH_ENV = HTTP_PROXY=http://user:passwd@proxy.name:80

But my proxy server requires continuous authentication for all transactions,
unlike other proxies that just require the username&password once -then give
the incoming connection carte-blanche.

How do I overcome this?
I need proxy auth to invoke for every single transaction/ everytime!

And also,

How do I set my system to use the proxy (system-wide) for all http, ftp,
socks etc. ?
And preferably even at boot.

Thanks in advance,
