- This system was described in a paper appearing the the 1992 USENIX
- Security Simposium. This code has been in use at a variety of sites
- for many years, and is now available for general consumption.
-
- One quick disclaimer, which is that documentation isn't up to snuff,
- the best best thing available is the USENIX procedings. If you
- notice something in particular lacking please let me know.
-
- I can reached at, for any questions comments or other sudgestions:
- koblas@netcom.com
-
- What the directories contain:
-
- include -- Common include file for both the daemon and library
- lib -- Standard library containting replacement calls
- rfinger -- Example Rconnect() program, contains both finger & whois
- rftp -- The standard BSD Networking release finger, copied
- from ftp.uu.net, and modified to work with Socks
- sockd -- The daemon that runs on the gateway host.
- doc -- Some unfinished documentation
-
- *** The short and simple installation instructions:
-
- 1) Look at the socks.h in the include directory, cusomize it for your site.
-
- 2) Put the following line in your /etc/services file
- socks 1080/tcp # Socks gateway service
-
- 3) Cusomize sockd/sockd.conf to your sites needs
-
- 4) Copy sockd/sockd and sockd/sockd.conf to your gateway host
-
- 5) Add the following line to your /etc/inetd.conf file on the gateway
- socks stream tcp nowait nobody /etc/sockd sockd
-
- 6) Reload your inetd on the gateway host (kill -HUP <pid of inetd>)
-
- 7) Test out rwhois or rfinger in the rfinger directory to see if
- things are working.
