Socks Client Program				      SOCKSIFY(1)

NAME
     socksify -	dynamically SOCKSifies a program

SYNOPSIS
     socksify program [	arguments ]

DESCRIPTION
     socksify is Dante's equivalent of the NEC	SOCKS'	runsocks,
     socksify  uses  LD_PRELOAD	 environment variable to wrap all
     networking-related	system calls  so  that	programs  can  go
     through  a	 SOCKS	server	that  was  installed as	part of	a
     firewall.

     Dante SOCKS implementation	is delivered as	part of	following
     2 packages:

     SUNWlibsocks  Dante Client	libraries
     SUNWdanter	   Dante Server	(root)
     SUNWdanteu	   Dante Server	(user)

OPTIONS
     program
	  The program that is to be socksified.	The arguments are
	  program arguments to the program and not to socksify.

FILES
     /etc/socks.conf
	  Dante	client configuration file.

EXAMPLES
     To	checkout a subversion repository from behind a	firewall,
     Do,

     socksify svn co <svn-repository-url>

SEE ALSO
     socks.conf(4), sockd(1m), sockd.conf(4)

NOTES
     A more permanent solution would be	to  add	 the   LD_PRELOAD
     environment  value	 to  the  shell	 startup files.	 Then all
     non-set[ug]id applications	that are linked	dynamically would
     be	socksified.  However this can have bad side-effects.
