This can resolve the inhability to connect to internet if inside a lan with a
MsProxy server as gateway, which doesn't accept standard digest auth. No matter
what you set in *proxy env vars.
ntlmaps is a local proxy server able to authenticate via samba protocol with
MsProxy server, thus permitting full internet installation process. Size:
around 200k with docs. Depends: python sockets only.

I'll look into it, but we remove python from the livecd environment, so you're
not talking about adding 200K to the CD, but adding *python* and 200K.  That's
quite a difference.

I have added this to my spec files and we'll see how it goes... I'll keep you
informed via this bug...

Are you sure this doesn't require samba or anything extra?

Also, would you open a bug to have ntlmaps checked on any other arches?  This
would need to be stable on any arch that would use it for it to be included
properly.

I haven't any machine without samba to test this on now, but reading some code
I found complete raw samba auth network functions (also, when I last checked
I'm sure I didn't need samba installed to use this pkg).

adding bug for arch test request

Excellent.

I am manually unmasking this package in my portage snapshot for x86 and amd64 (the two arches I'm working with)...

This is still masked on x86 and amd64, I know.  The snapshot date is the 20th
of October, so it would either need to be in stable for each arch that needs
it, or it'll get left off the CD.

There is dante on the LiveCD as distfiles... this didn't make deadline, so it
won't make it on 2004.3's release.  REOPEN if it goes stable on any arch and
we'll include it on the LiveCD.

Stable?

------- Comment #9 From Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-08-22 12:14:48 0000 ------- 
I guess we can shoot for 2007.0 on this one.

------- Comment #10 From Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2007-10-25 18:09:24 0000 ------- 
Is there anything stopping this from going stable on amd64/ppc?

------- Comment #11 From Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2008-02-28 20:23:23 0000 ------- 
Well, I went and marked this stable on amd64/hppa/ppc for 2008.0's release.

This was fixed for 2008.0
