how about NTP behind a firewall proxy?

Is it possisble to install ntp (ntpdate) to work behind
a firewall proxy?

(just found out how to do this with wget...)

emerge sync doesn't work behind my company firewall because
rsync doesn't use the exported http proxy.

Is there a way to setup rsync to use a firewall proxy?

Or is there another way to perform the emerge sync
short of just downloading a tarball of the latest portage tree (yuck)?

Hi.

You have two choices:
1. Use a Socks proxy. If your company as a socks proxy, you can configure wget to use it.
2. Use emerge-webrsync. If you configure wget, emerge-webrsync will be able to use your http proxy to get the latest snapshot.

Tried emerge-webrsync.

this worked AFTER I added a GENTOO-MIRRORS line to my
make.conf file.

Thanks.
