(Get the code!)
In a production server with ubuntu 7.04, a sudo -s and export returns the setting of the user which gave the sudo command. This looks like normal behaviour to me. On 10.04 when I'm a normal user, and do a:
sudo echo $http_proxy
I get my proxy settings. While doing the sudo -s and export, its empty, even though the proxy is set as system wide. So, I do think its a bug. Maybe not because of the system wide info, but because of the proxy settings from the current user how executes the sudo command.
Im sure that in former versions this was working, and for system administrators I can't imagine this is wanted behaviour. Why do you else set the system wide proxy settings?
