Branch: pkgsrc-2008Q2, Version: 1.0.2nb6, Package name: socks5-1.0.2nb6, Maintainer: ambrisko

This is NWSL (previously CSTC) version 5.0 of SOCKS, a package that allows
Unix hosts behind a firewall to gain full access to the internet without
requiring direct IP reachability. It does require a SOCKS server program
being run on a host that can communicate directly to hosts behind the
firewall as well as hosts on the Internet at large. It is based on the
original SOCKS written by David Koblas <koblas@netcom.com> and the work of
the AFT working group of the IETF.

NOTE: The shared library features in socks5 require a dynamic linker that
understands the LD_PRELOAD environment variable. FreeBSD
2.1.5-RELEASE supports this; so do versions of -current and -stable
later than May 2, 1996. All other features will work with FreeBSD
2.0 and later.

WARNING: Export of SOCKS from the US without a proper license is a violation
of ITAR rules.

WARNING: Commercial use and distribution of this software requires a license
from NEC corporation.
