I took your tip on runsocks. I've got it working for several sites on sourceforge, (adium, davfs) So I know that my socks proxy server is working. But I still error out on directfb.org. This is the command I'm using:
runsocks cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/directfb login I turned on debugging in runsocks to see the error: 04541: lsReadResponse: Reading response (version: 5)... 04541: lsReadResponse: Server response read 04541: lsReadResponse: Response Address: 2:212.84.236.3:2401 04541: Socks5 Server: Authorization failed 04541: lsLibReadResponse storing errno: 111 04541: lsLibProtoExchg: lsLibReadResponse Failed 04541: lsTcpConnect: Protocol exchange failed cvs [login aborted]: connect to directfb.org(212.84.236.3):2401 failed: Connection refused I took the cvs command from the developers page on directfb.org. Does it look correct? Thanks.

Depending on size, you might even be able to email it. I've used my ISP shell acct. 2) Install a version of 'runsocks' appropriate to your OS and fix the config file as necessary. I needed a proxy entry here. Then wrap your cvs calls a'la 'runsocks cvs -d :pserver:...' (runsocks-1.0r11-2.i386.rpm on a RedHat Linux setup.) Benton 25jun04 -- BC&G Holzwarth [EMAIL PROTECTED]
