My setup is a Socks 5 server through a Socks 4 server then to the internet. The first problem is that I can reach the internet, but the connection has some sort of "garbage" and a telnet connection will immediately close after the login prompt (^D is getting sent??). The other problem lies in the ld.so area. Socks 5 tries to get the shared library to preload before any of the rest of the libraries (has socksified version of connect, etc in its shared library that need to overide the ones in libc). It tries to do this via an environment varieable LD_PRELOAD, which does not exist under FreeBSD. Is there any other way of achieving the same result?? BTW I am running 2.1.0-RELEASE -- Keith Mitchell | The real danger is not that computers will Chesapeake/Blacksburg VA | begin to think like men, but that men will kmitch@infi.net | begin to think like computers. kmitch@csugrad.cs.vt.edu | -- Sydney J.
