Hi all,

I sought how to make pass my emerge's starting from a tunnel configured with
Putty but did not find nothing  interesting.
How can i do this ?

Thx ;)

Are you using putty on windows then?

Log in with putty, you will get a bash session. Become root, run emerge.


If this doesn't work, then post back with FULL error messages, the 
process you followed and where it failed.

Thx for the Answer but  I think I asked the question wrong. I Use Putty to
bypass a HTTP proxy who do not let emerge Work.
So i wan't to run portage in my pc, not in the remote one. But i wan't to
sync passing the SSH tunnel who is configurated to listen at the port 8080
of my localhost.

It's not clear at all whether you have http access from your gentoo box. 
If so, did you try emerge-webrsync?

Do you also use http through it?

Regarding portage, it could be as easy as doing

# export http_proxy="name.of.your.proxy"

but without further info about your config (meaning: exact putty config, 
and exact use you make of it, and from where), it's difficult to help.

My Network have a Squid Proxy who allow only some ports like 80 443...

Putty is configurated to connect to a box i have in an other place, it allow
to make a SSH Tunnel who create a socks proxy at localhost:8080. Putty
listen to this port and send all the frames passing the 443 of the SQUID
proxy to my exterior box. I wan't to configure Portage to use this SOCK
proxy at localhost:8080

Ok, so you should be able to use 

# export http_proxy="proxyname or address"
# emerge-webrsync

To use the already existing proxy in your network. If you insist on using 
your tunnel, read on.

So you're forwarding port 8080 on the putty (windows) box to port 1080 on 
the remote box, where a SOCKS server is listening on that port, correct?

I'm not sure whether putty allows non-local connections to forwarded 
ports by default, if this is not the case you'll need to enable that 
option.

How do you do that?

"localhost", IIUC, is a windows box, and portage is running on another 
(linux, on the same network) box. So, at a minimum, you'll need to 
use "a.b.c.d:8080" as a SOCKS server, where a.b.c.s is the IP address of 
the windows putty box.

Assuming you have a SOCKS server at "a.b.c.d:8080" (albeit through a 
tunnel, but the apps don't know that), then you need to use some 
socksifying utility for emerge, since (AFAIK) it does not support SOCKS 
out of the box. So, something like

# socksify emerge --sync

should work (though I have not tested it). socksify is part of 
net-proxy/dante. Of course, you need to specify the SOCKS proxy at 
a.b.c.d port 8080 in the /etc/socks/socks.conf configuration file (I 
don't remember the exact syntax to do that right now, but it should be 
quite intuitive).

I am a little confused...

Putty listen to my 127.0.0.1:8080 and forward to my extern box:443 passing
the squid proxy:3128 (in SSH of course)

I tried configure the http proxy by export... but the web rsync still don't
run...

What application is running on the remote box, port 443? A SOCKS server 
or something else?

What kind of machine is "127.0.0.1:8080", where putty is running? It's 
likely a windows box, but now putty exists for linux too. 
Is this the same machine you want to run portage on? If not, is the 
portage box on the same network as the putty one?

Exactly what command did you enter and how the error messages looked like 
(the exact messages)?

OpenSSH,  which  manage the redirections  alone.

I am on Linux :P and the configuration  is my Gentoo  Installation.
127.O.O.1 is my machine where putty is running, Xchat run with this proxy
configuration: Socks5 127.0.0.1:8080

After Many tests, this solution worked. Thx for that ;)

But I am interested on a global configuration who pass all connection by the
SSH tunnel.

How i can do that ?

Now I am confused. Why do you run Putty on a Linux machine?

I used it once just to confuse and confound co-workers and have it 
runable in Wine just to impress some other people.

But I'd never seriously USE it for anything...  That's why I have ... 
um ... openssh and ... err ... telnet

You do not need wine to run putty on Linux. There's a UNIX port. Just emerge 
putty and run it. Not that I don't agree it's useless with all the 
alternatives that are available on Linux too.. ;)

Many of the same things available on putty are available on OpenSSH
too.  If you know putty it won't be real hard to learn to use
openSSH.  

I can tell you that you might get a good response at comp.security.ssh
with your questions too.  I always have there.  Its not about any
particular kind if ssh so openssh putty etc will fit in there.

If what you want is to create tunnels, and you want a GUI (I imagine
this since you want to use putty), then why not use gstm Gnome SSH
Tunnel Manager : http://sourceforge.net/projects/gstm/)?

Still, it's unclear what your exact configuration is. However, assuming 
that you're tunneling SOCKS, you could use socksify (configured to use 
SOCKS for every protocol and IP address) and launch the applications 
with 

socksify <appname>

Elyahou,

What EXACTLY is failing? You are not giving any information we can work 
with, so please supply FULL information with ALL relevant details.

Does 'emerge --sync' fail? This has nothing to do with HTTP proxies as 
it's an rsync session

Does 'emerge <some package>' fail, and if so, what is the error message? 
This might well be a proxy, so can you see gentoo.org in a browser?
