NAME
     sockd - Socks 5 proxy server

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/local/sbin/sockd {[start] | [stop] | [restart]}

DESCRIPTION
     The sockd server allows applications behind a firewall to establish outside
     network  connections.  The  application  makes  a	connection  to the sockd
     server, authenticates itself (if required), then sockd establishes  a  net-
     work  connection on behalf of the application, then transparently transfers
     the data between the two connections.

     This Socks 5 server does not yet support UDP connections.	 sockd	supports
     TCP connections only.

     "sockd  start"  starts  the  Socks 5 server, reading its configuration from
     /usr/local/etc/socksrc.  "sockd stop" shuts down the Socks  server,  termi-
     nating any active connections.  "sockd restart" re-reads the server config-
     uration  from /usr/local/etc/socksrc without affecting any existing network
     connections.

	 Note

	 Not all configuration settings  are  updated  by  sockd  restart.  Only
	 changes to the "port", "anonproxy", "authproxy", and "prefork" settings
	 in  /usr/local/etc/sockrc  will  take effect. Changes to other settings
	 require a sockd stop, followed by sockd start to take effect.
