Re: is the proxy necessary?

[Piero Campanelli <pcampanelli@acm.org>]

Hi,

you need the dvbd daemon to use new EOL authentication. You can
find it on website (linuxtv.org). You must download it. Configuration
files could be right. You absolutely have to read dvbd.h and eventually
recompile if dvbd use eth0 instead of ppp0 !! (it is hardcoded in
the code).

Than launch dvbd and setup proxies in your browser as a windows 9x
users do !! Authentication is done in the browser and it is cumbersome
So you have to install (if you want) squid proxy !!!
If you install SQUID you gain:

- on client side no authentication
- it is faster because cache is a great thing :)

Hope this help
Piero
