Re: Socks configuration

Ryujin,

I seem to recall getting AIM to work.  I'm at home now, but when I get back to 
school next week I'll let you know what protocols work.  Have you had any 
success using any applications besides Kopete with socks?  Does Konqueror 
work?

My /etc/dante.conf (/etc/socks.conf on most systems) looks like this:

route {
       from: 0.0.0.0/0   to: 0.0.0.0/0   via: 127.0.0.1 port = 1080
       proxyprotocol: socks_v4
}

Basically route everything through the proxy.  The socks server is on 
localhost because I'm using SSH's socks proxy option as a poor mans VPN, like 
so:

ssh -N -D 1080 user@host

but you should be able to replace 127.0.0.1 with your socks server's IP.  Hope 
that helps and I'll write back when I return to school and can run some 
tests.
