SOCKS: Secure Network Connectivity Through a Firewall Host

Socks is an Internet socket service package consisting of client
library routines and a daemon which interact through a simple
protocol to provide convenient and secure network connectivity
through a firewall host. Client applications can be easily
modified to utilize the Socks library routines in place of the
normal socket library calls such that all outgoing connections
will go through the Socks daemon (sockd) running on the
firewall host.

The Socks package was written by David Koblas while employed at
MIPS Computer Systems, Inc. Since David is currently working
in Norway, Paul M. Moriarty of Cisco Systems, Inc. will present
Socks for him.

Next Month: Best of LISA VI (tentatively)
