I'm looking to write some scripts to automate proxy settings after connecting to my company vpn. I think my questions are best directed to network-manager and gnome-network-properties (gnome-control-center) developers. I didn't see an appropriate list for the latter on mail.gnome.org (networkmanager isn't listed there either for some reason). If someone can suggest an appropriate list for gnome-network-properties, I would appreciate it. What I would like to do is set the various proxy host/port values via gconf on vpn-up and vpn-down events. I've written a script to detect these events and placed it in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/. In this script I try to use gconftool to set the /system/http_proxy/host and other such values. When I run this script from my user session, it works as expected, when running from the nm dispatcher, it doesn't seem to change the values. It runs as root there, so I even tried it with "su myuser -c " without success. I have confirmed that the script is running and that it correctly identifies the vpn-up and vpn-down events via some print statements to the syslog. I would also like it to be able to do the equivalent of "Apply System-Wide..." from the gnome-network-properties dialog. I tried telling gconftool to use the /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults config, but that did change those values either. Lastly, I haven't been able to determine where the ALL_PROXY and NO_PROXY env vars get set, as they are not written to /etc/environment. Is there a way to run a post-vpn script that has the appropriate "scope" to modify the necessary gconf settings to update both the user proxies as well as the system-wide proxies?
