I've got a firewall running FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE.  Because the ICQ Windows
client longs for UDP support, I've installed the  socks5-v1.0r8 server, but
keep seeing the following errors:

Feb 10 09:07:31 pandora Socks5[9147]: Socks5 starting at Wed Feb 10 09:07:31 1999 from inetd
Feb 10 09:07:31 pandora Socks5[9147]: UDP Proxy Request: (lucia.hh.kew.com:1177) for user thomas
Feb 10 09:07:31 pandora Socks5[9147]: UDP Proxy Established: (lucia.hh.kew.com:1178) for user thomas

Now, I don't care about the errors per se, but the general functionality of
the ICQ client behind the firewall is affected by as opposed to on a bare dial
connection is noticeable, such as server time outs and the like.

Time out for the server is set for 240 (minutes), time-outs for the client is
set for 9999 (seconds).   Suggestions, comments?
