NAME
       kpac_dhcp_helper - provides Proxy Auto Configuration to KDE

SYNOPSIS
       kpac_dhcp_helper

DESCRIPTION
       Provides	 Proxy	Auto  Configuration to KDE by requesting a JavaScript
       function that uses the requested URL to determine the proxy  settings.
       Locating that JavaScript can be done by using DHCP or DNS.

       DHCP  is preferred for its flexibility over DNS, which requires a wpad
       hostname or a fixed location to a script.  The only  requirements  for
       DHCP  are  a  network that supports DHCP and a current DHCP configura-
       tion.  kpac_dhcp_helper is the setuid application  needed  to  support
       DHCP.

       This  tool  is  a  support utility for KDE libraries and is not called
       from the command line.

OPTIONS
       kpac_dhcp_helper takes no arguments.

SECURITY
       kpac_dhcp_helper must be used as setuid root.

SEE ALSO
       resolver(3), dhclient(8), dhcpd(8), named(8)
