Sorry, our weather station said 45C air temperature outside today.
We're sending it back to the people that lent it to us with a note
saying that it makes the suburb too hot 8)

Ok.

I just want to shut Socks5 up; you should see it go with a network
full of Netscape machines hitting it for their mail 8( (And the office
memo that told everyone to set their mail check delay right down so
that people wouldn't be late for urgent meetings. *snort*)
"a logfile" is good; I can watch it if I need to debug the proxy. But
I want the system log on this machine to be realtively long-lived;
newsyslog or no, I'm going to be looking for more space on the root
filesystem to store my heavily-gzipped Socks-powered datastamps 8(
There's another ripper with socks;
SOCKS5_LOG_SYSLOG
Sends debugging output to syslog. This is the
default ...
This is an environment variable that you can set, or a config option. 8)
