I made a patch previously to socketwrapper (posted on the forums) to try fix the problems socketwrapper has with various VPN/firewall programs. Although this fixed the problems I had with running with bits of Citrix installed it did not seem to help the majority of other cases.
I have therefore done a much bigger job attacking socketwrapper that means that socketwrapper alone (and none of its child processes) touch the sockets being used to communicate. It is my theory that this passing and sharing of sockets between processes is what is causing problems with firewall software. If this theory and my solution are correct then this new version (attached) should fix a lot of peoples' problems. Unfortunately I don't have any of the other problem software and so am unable to test it beyond checking that it works here with the Citrix LSP. It is also more of a rewrite rather than a small patch so it is possible that it may break other scenarios. For example, socketwrapper can be called with an input port specified but I not sure how to cause this and have not tested this. I would welcome any reports as to success or failure of this version, particularly with debugging traces.
