NAME

       sockd.fc - Frozen configuration file for SOCKS server

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/sockd.fc

DESCRIPTION

       The  frozen  configuration  file is produced by make_sockdfc and is essentially the memory
       image of the parsed configuration file. Using the frozen configuration file can reduce the
       start-up  delay  of  the  SOCKS  server  program  since it no longer has to parse the file
       contents.

       When the  SOCKS  server  starts,  it  always  looks  for  the  frozen  configuration  file
       /etc/sockd.fc  first.  If  that  file  is  not  found, it then tries to use the plain-text
       configuration file /etc/sockd.conf. If you use frozen configuration, you must remember  to
       run  make_sockdfc every time after you modify the plain-text file or the SOCKS server will
       continue to use the frozen file of a previous configuration.

       To find out the contents of a frozen configuration file, use dump_sockdfc.
