 That's a terrible package name.  What will the GNUSTEP people do if
 they ever want to package something that manages SMB client mounts?

That's what upstream calls the program (actually connect.c), and
package names are first-come first-serve.

Nb, also have a look at 'corkscrew' (though it doesn't seem to support
SOCKS).

Peter's complaint is a legitimate and important one--it really is a terrible
package name--so please don't dismiss it.  Package names are a shared
namespace, and must be chosen intelligently.

I concur. When I built this program locally, I called it
socks_connect, because I knew that I'd come across a binary in 6
months called 'connect', wonder what it was, and then bin it.

This command line program enables ssh connection over proxies.
I was suprised it wasn't allready packaged (maybe there are alternatives to it).

There is not upstream tarball, just a simple C file.
I built the package and checked them with lintian and linda.

Get the packages at : http://rzr.online.fr/docs/contrib/tmp/
