I don't understand why we have a socks4 port at all. socks5 is upwards and backwards compatible with 4, and supports a lot more functionality. I'd like to see the socks4 port not exist at all, as I think it just adds to confusion. However, socks is much more general than just security, and as such, that's why I put it in net in the first place (it's application relay, which is a poor-man's nat). FWIW, if my memory serves me right, I was either the author or the maintainer of both the socks4 and socks5 ports we originally had. Paul
