use wget to obtain the ide's.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Take a look at the man page for wget, Ive not done
it before but it does have options to set</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So you could add these parameters to the

think you can set these options as well.</FONT></DIV>

proxy servers</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm sorry if this is slightly of topic but I'm
not sure who else to ask. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We currently run Mailscanner on our email gateway
with great success and every night it happily goes off and get the latest
ide's from Sophos. We are now planning on installing and running Sophos on all
our internal server. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The problem is that the machines have no direct
connection to the web only via our proxy server that requires
authentication.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Could someone tell me how to alter the autoupdate
script to do this or would it be easier to copy the file from the mail gateway
onto the internal machines, if this is the case which directories / files
should I copy over ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance </FONT></DIV>
