I think Alan is referring to the inconsistent implementations of
proxies in various packages. In particular, if he configures a proxy
for his current user, no commands he runs as "sudo" will observe that.
so if he's behind a proxy, nothing run under sudo can access the
internet properly. It's a pain.
