This is a good requirement of my friend for a education institute. They have 90% of machine running Linux. All machines are behind firewall, does not have direct internet connectivity and using SOCKS. The situation is allright for WWW since all browser supports proxy but the problem is for other application. In most cases, it is possible to get SOCKS client, but not for all application for which source is not available. It would be nice if kernel can support the SOCKS and all application will be transparent to it. I am not aware if something like this is already done on Linux. I am sure that somebody might have done this, since it is a better option than to change all applications (what do you say Alan ?).
I would appreciate any help on this.
Thanks,
Yusuf
