Hi all, to get connected to remote server from my LAN I need to use SOCKS. I installed the dante (not the server nor the develompment rpm) package on my SUSE 7.0. I need to force all application client to use socks. In the configuration file /etc/socks.conf I wrote: route { from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 10.18.0.0/24 via: direct } route { from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0 via: 10.18.100.1 port= 1080 proxyprotocol: socks_v4 } The IP of my machine is: 10.18.120.153. If I insert into my .bashrc file the lines: LD_PRELOAD="libdl.so libdsocks.so" export LD_PRELOAD then the KDE desktop won't start. If I execute the command socksify telnet or socksify ftp I can happily establish a connection with remote server but if I do a (for instance) socksify kmail then the connection is not socksified. The problem is I can I socksify graphical programs (I even tried with non KDE graphical programs with no success). Should I use a different socks library? Is the configuration file (socks.conf) wrong? Any help would be very appreciated. TIA Maurizio Firmani
