R help - May 2011 - R proxy settings for Mac

Hi, 
 
I've read through the FAQs and in the R FAQ for Windows I found a
valuable section on how to configure R to work with a proxy server. A
colleague tested and confirms the solution works but now I have other
colleagues connecting via the same proxy server (requiring
authentication) using Apple Macs but in the Mac FAQ I don't see any
section on Mac proxy settings. Is there any support for this or has it
not been tested?
 
Regards, 
Marvin
