I want to set HTTP_PROXY for all users on my machine, and I'd like to do
it in /etc/login.conf as then it's only in one place.

However, I need to put a colon in for the port number and can't see how
to escape it so that the entry doesn't get chopped off halfway through.
None of these work:

        :setenv=HTTP_PROXY=www-cache.private.submonkey.net:3128:\

        :setenv=HTTP_PROXY=www-cache.private.submonkey.net\:3128:\

        :setenv=HTTP_PROXY="www-cache.private.submonkey.net:3128":\

Is there a way to do this, or should I just throw this in /etc/profile
and /etc/csh.cshrc instead?
