SOCKS support

[Damien Miller]

Just a warning and a call to action:

Theo de Raadt has convinced me to remove SOCKS support from our port
of OpenSSH.

His argument is that it can be easily and generically implemented as
a ProxyCommand. This fits with my desire to keep our divergences from
the OpenBSD codebase to a minimum.

This looks like a few hours work (for someone more familiar the SOCKS
API that I). It is basically a program which connects to a commandline
specified host and passes data to/from the remote host to/from stdio.
"man ssh" for the details on ProxyCommands.

I am therefore asking for a volunteer to implement this so I can      
include in the next release of OpenSSH.                               

Any takers?

Regards,
Damien Miller
