Hi,

Unfortunately this didn't make any difference.
Originally I tried running just Quicktime (4) player for Mac, which is
apparently Socks5 saavy (although I don't see anything for auth in it),
but this time I experimented further with
'Socksifying' quicktime(4) player on Windows, and making sure that the
player was not trying to use a socks5 server, but instead letting
Sockscap32 handle the transactions. Again, the auth failure turned up in
the logs.
The username and password that I used for sockscap32 is identical to the
username/password for my account on the FreeBSD box (as is the
username/password for Windows logon).
I tried your suggestion in 2 variations, 1) your exact suggestion, 2)
changing the auth line to read "auth - - n" and instructing sockscap that
no authentication was required.

I have cleaned the config file up and it currently looks like this:
# Authentication entries
auth - - u

# Access entries
permit - - - - - -

# route entries
route 192.168.1./255.255.255.0 - xl0
route - - tun0

Thanks,
Rich.
