Cntlm

This is just a quick post for when you may being sitting behind a M$ ISA proxy server and running Linux. Use CNTLM http://sourceforge.net/projects/cntlm/ it works like a charm and also get around having problems with special characters in your password. These characters seem to be a problem when exporting proxy settings via export http_proxy=....

CNTLM is also in the Ubuntu repos so apt-get install cntlm should do the trick. The only config file you need to edit is /etc/cntlm.conf. Use the command /etc/init.d/cntlm to start it.
