Make the ssh connection with -R:3128:your_proxy:3128 (assuming the standard squid port). Then on the remote machine: http_proxy=http://localhost:3128 ftp_proxy=http://localhost:3128 yum update. Should work with apt too, but you might have to set the proxy in the config file instead of exporting for the command. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
