Such qualities are seldom found on the internet nowadays. I must also add that not all IT admins will be pissed at such attempts to circumvent security. Some just implement the rules requested from their higher management which may be overzealous or misguided. Unfortunately, security is sometimes just a popular trend or hot topic used to lure managers into a false sense of control. Others IT admins are just not knowledgeable enough to know what is going on. In my experience, Windows IT admins do not develop such knowledge until confronted with Unix systems. Nevertheless, IMHO, focusing on corporate networks may not be the the best topic although it's a great example. The information has a much larger use and it just saved me hours of trouble with a problematic wifi provider.

When I had: server = localhost in my /etc/tsocks.conf I got the warning message: The SOCKS server (localhost) listed in the configuration file which needs to be used for this connection is invalid I changed it to: server = 127.0.0.1 and it works. Maybe --disable-hostnames was given at compile time. BTW. - very nice article, thanks. tsocks on my Ubuntu 7.10 need to have numerical IP addresses instead of names. When I had:
