NAME

       socksify - dynamically SOCKSifies a program

SYNOPSIS

       socksify program [ arguments ]

DESCRIPTION

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

SEE ALSO

       dante.conf(5)

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.
