Hi All,

Are there any compiled downloadable binaries for a Socks client for
AIX?

I need to get svn to talk to a remote server via SOCKS. And Hudson for
that matter,,,

After finding a lot of vague references to AIX being able to act as a
socks client. Here 'tis:

I've managed to get AIX to act as the socks client on my behalf.

In the end, I needed to set an environment variable to point to a
config file (SOCKS5C_CONFIG=/etc/socks5c.conf) and create and populate
the socks5c.conf file.

Job done.
