Apologies for not replying to the original message with this, but I havent checked my mail in a couple of days, so I might as well kill two birds with one stone and reply to 'em both at once :) When I first set up my socks proxy (running on a DEC Alpha) and tried to get my freebsd box talking to it, I recall having the same problem as you. Unfortunately, I dont recall how I eventually fixed it, though I suspect it was a config problem with either the libsocks5.conf or the config file on the proxy. Perhaps if you could post a copy of your config file along with a description of your network setup I'd be able to see if there was anything amiss. > I have Socks4 and Socks5 built on my FreeBSD box and have been using > proxified clients through our Socks5 (and previously Socks4) firewall > without any problems. > > |I get the same results with the "fetch" command when trying to fetch ports > |using FETCH_CMD="runsocks /usr/bin/fetch" - I think I'll have the same > |trouble with cvsup? > > 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).

I use runsocks to socksify several apps which dont have native SOCKS4/5 support, including tinyfugue, fetch, telnet, ftp and ncftp, all without any problems. Lynx also works great using the inbuilt socks support, although I dont think I could get socks native support in tinyfugue working. Most annoyingly, I still havent been able to get Netscape to work using socks no matter what I try (socks4/socks5 config files are set up correctly, and netscape is pointing to the ip address of my proxy..but it seems to still ignore it and try connecting directly or to a http proxy if I have one set. But I digress..). Cvsup also works fine using the m3socks wrapper. Kris
