I use Mac OS X's Web proxy globally for all non-admin users (set

settings on a per user basis? Anyone out there in a similar
situation?
Just a minor question...why are you running as root?
Perhaps he's not, perhaps he has processes running as root? Maybe
something that connects to WebDAV, does curl, ...
But there are sysadmins that still run as root and not sudo
everything or sudo into bash all the time. It's a preference or a
policy decision.
