what about socks support?

[Edward Geraghty]

On AIX > v4.3.2 you could always use the built-in sockified stack.. It is
for socks v5
servers only I believe.. It also does unauthenticated SOCKS connection.

 Docs on this can be found at ...

http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/libs/commtrf2/socks5c_conf.htm#scs70399bkm

Just need to create a socks5c.conf file and set the varable pointing to
that.. e.g.
     export SOCKS5C_CONFIG=/etc/socks5c.conf

Michael,

It is quite simple to socksify OpenSSH using the NEC socks code from
http://www.socks.nec.com.  If you comile the socks library then you can
add the support to OpenSSH by:

    adding #include <socks.h> in front of the other includes in
sshconnect.c
    configuring with: --with-cflags="-DSOCKS" --with-libs="-lsocks5"

This will give you socks4 and socks5 support which you can define using
libsocks5.conf (see the NEC socks man pages).

An alternative socks implementation to use is Dante.  I have no experience
with that library but I have heard good things about it.

Hope this helps,

Is there any plan to add socks 4 or socks 5 support to openssh like
the original ssh developed in finland??
