If you've got a newer/better version of socks running, I'll just forget the whole thing (socks 4 that is). I've compiled socks versions of telnet, ftp, ncftp1, popclient, sup, and perl4.036 (possible others, but I use these frequently).

That'd be a pretty clean way, if we could come up with a -DSOCKS option for the rest of the system. I even at one time thought about a socksified libc.so so that all clients ``just worked'', but never had time to play with it. > > I haven't submitted anything before, so I'm a newbie at the procedure. > No problem, there always seems to be a couple people willing to help add functionality to the system. > > -Jim Durham > eric. -- erich@lodgenet.com erich@rrnet.com
