Hello,

as source packages are unavailable at master sites, I used older source 
that I had downloaded some time ago... they are actually newer: v1.0r10 
(the tree contains 1.0.2).

Now to the point: as I am a newbie to NetBSD, I tried to socksize an 
'ftp' daemon (for testing purposes, later I will need to socksize 'sup').

I compiled the SOCKS library, I put /usr/local/lib into /etc/ld.so.conf 
, I wrote the script:

export SOCKS5_USER=xxxxxx [that is to remain secret for the reader]
export SOCKS5_PASSWD=xxxxxx
export SOCKS5_SERVER=xxxxxx
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libsocks5_sh.so $LD_PRELOAD
export LD_PRELOAD
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
export LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/lib
exec "$@"


Calling it with ftp argument did start ftp client (I intend to use it 
later for sup). However, when I was trying to open an FTP server (that I 
could connect at the same time thru the same SOCKS server and the same 
version of SOCKS client thru a Linux machine), no connection was made. 
netstat -f inet from a different terminal didn't show any attempt to 
make any connection.

Trying ktruss showed this... As you may see, I did force it to download 
the SOCKS library first, but I couldn't make it run.

ross:~ # ktruss ./socksuj.sh ftp

   6465 ftp      close(0x3)                         = 0

ftp> open ftp.cesnet.cz

from the dump it was obvious that it tried to connect via FTP directly 
to cesnet.cz, ignoring the SOCKS library.



What am I doing wrong? I didn't find any hints on the web, so I will be 
very grateful for an instructive information. Thank you in advance.
