NAME
       socksify - dynamically SOCKSifies a program

SYNOPSIS
       socksify program [ arguments ]

DESCRIPTION
       socksify  is  Dante's  equivalent of the NEC SOCKS' runsocks.  sockisfy uses LD_PRELOAD environment variable to wrap all networking-related
       system calls so that programs can go thought a SOCKS server that was installed as part of a firewall.

SEE ALSO
       dante.conf(5)

NOTES
       A more permanent solution would be to add the LD_PRELOAD environment value to the shell startup files.  Then all non-set[ug]id applications
       that are linked dynamically would be socksified.  However this can have bad side-effects.
