Hi,

two days ago I installed NetBSD for the first time in my life. The box
is a Sun SparcStation 2 (sparc32, sun4c). We're using proxy services
in our LAN, no routing or NAT/MASQ to the internet. Is it possible to
use pkg_add via FTP proxy? The proxy is listening on port 21, accepts
both active and passive FTP and expects "USER userid@hostname", for
instance "USER anonymous@ftp.netbsd.org"

There isn't any proxy stuff mentioned in the pkg_add man page:
http://www.tac.eu.org/cgi-bin/man-cgi?pkg_add+.sparc+NetBSD-current
but maybe there is some sort of magic environment variable or
an config file entry or something like that?   :)



Regards,
Andreas
