I've only needed this when trying to do IRC from inside my natd network. What I did was set up a socks5 firewall (www.socks.nec.com) that only allowed connections from inside my firewall and didn't need a password. I had it run under its own user account (although the nobody account would work just as well). Now when I IRC out, my identd shows the socks5 user as owning that connection. It works well enough for IRC. --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) ICQ UIN: 692441 ( ludwigp@email.com ) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
