usocksd Description

usocksd project is a user-mode SOCKS5 daemon. usocksd project is a user-mode SOCKS5 daemon.While the usual "socksd" runs as a system service, perhaps on a firewall machine with no users, this one is intended to be run by users themselves.There are two situations where this is useful:1. User has access to a machine with less restricted connectivity than the machine he works on.2. User is on an insecure network and wants all network traffic to be enrypted using "ssh", and has access to a machine running "sshd" on a more secure network. "usocksd" contains special provisions for this situation.More information on how to run "usocksd" is in the man page.Installation: sh ./configure; make; make install.configure takes additional arguments --enable-debug, --enable-norelax and --with-socks5. configure --help for more info.This program can itself use SOCKS, although I haven't tested that option.Developed on Linux 2.0, tested also on HPUX 10, AIX 4.1, Solaris 2.6.
