|What I did is compiled/installed socks5 port. Than I use the rftp/rtelnet
|etc... I set an environment variable SOCKS5_SERVER=x.x.x.x which is the
|ip of my Win95 box. If you have done things differently would you care to
|share? =)
Ok, your env var sounds fine. I set SOCKS_SERVER myself just so it'll carry
over to my socks4-linked apps too, and I set it to the hostname rather than
the IP of our proxy box but both work.
Also, verify the content of your SOCKS client config file. It's
called libsocks5.conf by default. To see where it's supposed to live:
% strings `which rftp` | grep ^/
Mine looks like this:
#
# SOCKS5 Firewall Client Configuration File
# FORMAT: proxy protocol dest-addr dest-port [userlist] [proxy-addr]
#
noproxy - 127.0.0.1 - -
noproxy - 144.54. - -
socks5 - - - - -
#socks4 - - - - -

|I'm curious as to how you're getting runsocks to work since I don't believe
|FreeBSD supports LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_PRELOAD (on BSD a.out). At least I
|didn't think it did. I'm not at my FreeBSD box now, or I'd "man ld.so" and
|double check, but I think I looked for this before. Am I wrong?
I'm home on my FreeBSD box now, man'ing ld.so, and ...Sonofagun! -- FreeBSD
2.2.1 _does_ support LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_PRELOAD! And sure enough:
runsocks telnet host-way-out-there-in-netland
runsocks slrn news-server-way-out-there-in-netland
works like a champ. Cool. I'm glad you got me looking into this again.
Now on FreeBSD, as on Solaris, I don't have to SOCKSify apps anymore.
