<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Hi LIST,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I've come up with an easy fix
for the Firefox proxy settings globally/(for all users),,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I'll explain in steps,,how to
hand edit the >ONE< file that is all that needs to be EASILY
edited.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> the ONE file you are looking to
edit is all.js</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> in K12LTSP 4.2.0 it is located
at /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/greprefs/all.js</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> in K12LTSP 4.1.x it is located
at /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.3/</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> for older K12LTSP versions do a
terminal>locate all.js and go to it ,there, to gedit
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 1. go to the all.js and right
click, and select open with text editor (gedit)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 2. scroll about three
forths of the way down in this file and you'll need to edit the
lines,starting at:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
pref("network.proxy.type",
0)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 3. change the 0(zero) in
the above line to a 1(one)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 4. edit the next ten lines
to correlate to your proxy server numbers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 5. put your proxyserver IP
address between the ""quotes in the the following lines</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 6. put your port number
were the following 0(zeros) are.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 7. save changes to your newly
edited all.js file by clicking the SAVE in gedit.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 8. done.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 9. test by logging in as user
joe schmoe and you should see the proxy settings alrady entered in the
"Connection Settings", in the firefox /preferences.</FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 10. ( You should have edited a
total of 11 lines in all.js if everything was done right.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 11. if you have mulitple K12LTSP
severs that point to this same proxytserver,an easy way to replicate this ,after
you have your editing done right is:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 12. from the current server you
are on, do a terminal,> then,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2> # rsync
-avz /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/greprefs/all.js
otherserveripaddress:/usr/lib/firefox-1.0/greprefs/all.js</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> this will
sync the edited all.js file to your other servers with the values you want in
all of them</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 13. Walla!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> BTW: this does not make these
settings (locked), to were users can delete the settings,if they can find
them!:(.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Hope this helps some poor sap
,like me!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Take it easy.</FONT></DIV>
