I don't think this is specific to KDE 3.4 beta1, since I couldn't get it
working in 3.3.2 either.
I have a SOCKS proxy running on a different machine and have an SSH tunnel set
up on my local port 1080 to forward to that machine, port 1080. I have dante
server running on that machine, and configured correctly. My /etc/socks.conf
file is this:
----------------------------------------------------------
debug: 0
logoutput: stdout
resolveprotocol: fake
route {
from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: . via: 127.0.0.1 port = 1080
proxyprotocol: socks_v4 socks_v5
method: none
protocol: tcp udp
}
----------------------------------------------------------
and if I configure gaim or firefox to use my SOCKS server like this, they work
fine and I can see the connections being forwarded from ssh's verbose output.
And, as I said, they actually do work.
HOWEVER, I can't for the life of me get KDE to use this.
I have "connect to the internet directly" selected under the Proxy tab and
"Enable SOCKS support" selected under the SOCKS tab. I have installed the
dante client RPM from dag's repository (if there's a more correct one to use,
PLEASE tell me), and it is dante-1.1.14-2.1.fc3.rf.
I have added /lib to the "Additional Library Search Paths" under the SOCKS
tab, and have "Dante" checked. When I click "Test" from the SOCKS tab, I get
"Success: SOCKS was found and initialized."
After I log out of KDE and back in again, NOTHING in KDE is trying to use my
SOCKS proxy.
Am I setting this up correctly in kcontrol? There's no SOCKS server that I
can specify!!
Also, if I start konqueror up from the command line, I see this, among other
things:
kdecore (KSocks): KSocks added a new library path: /lib/
kdecore (KLibLoader): library=libsocks.so: No file named libsocks.so found in
paths.
kdecore (KLibLoader): library=libdsocksd.so.0: No file named libdsocksd.so.0
found in paths.
kdecore (KLibLoader): library=libsocks5.so: No file named libsocks5.so found
in paths.
kdecore (KLibLoader): library=libsocks5_sh.so: No file named libsocks5_sh.so
found in paths.
kdecore (KSocks): Found Dante SOCKS
kdecore (KSocks): SOCKS has been activated!
Jan 26 14:50:56 KDE[30276]: dante/client v1.1.14 running
Which makes me think that things should work. Yet I never see any output from
the ssh tunnel that shows that anything is being forwarded across the tunnel
for the SOCKS proxy.
Someone, anyone, please help?!? =:) I've been beating my head against the
wall with this for far too long.
Thanks.
