Hi, I know this app is rather ancient (last release 23rd October 2002), but I found there's a rather annoying bug where tsocks just won't connect you to the SOCKS server and gives back an error:
Error 56 attempting to connect to SOCKS server I found a patch here at this URL which came out in 2005: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?%20func=detail&aid=1252703&group_id=17338&atid=117338 I have applied it and all it needs are two extra files in net/tsocks/files: patch-tsocks.c : --- tsocks.c.orig 2011-01-18 15:03:09.000000000 +0000 +++ tsocks.c 2011-01-18 15:05:04.000000000 +0000 @@ -658,7 +658,7 @@ int poll(POLL_SIGNATURE) { * come around again (since we can't flag it for read, we don't know * if there is any data to be read and can't be bothered checking) */ if (conn->selectevents & WRITE) { - setevents |= POLLOUT; + ufds[i].revents |= POLLOUT; nevents++; } } @@ -852,7 +852,11 @@ static int connect_server(struct connreq sizeof(conn->serveraddr)); show_msg(MSGDEBUG, "Connect returned %d, errno is %d\n", rc, errno); - if (rc) { + if (rc && errno == EISCONN) { + rc = 0; + show_msg(MSGDEBUG, "Socket %d already connected to SOCKS server\n", conn->sockid); + conn->state = CONNECTED; + } else if (rc) { if (errno != EINPROGRESS) { show_msg(MSGERR, "Error %d attempting to connect to SOCKS " "server (%s)\n", errno, strerror(errno)); patch-tsocks.h: --- tsocks.h.orig 2011-01-18 15:01:48.000000000 +0000 +++ tsocks.h 2011-01-18 15:03:00.000000000 +0000 @@ -75,9 +75,9 @@ struct connreq { #define FAILED 14 /* Flags to indicate what events a socket was select()ed for */ -#define READ (1<<0) -#define WRITE (1<<1) -#define EXCEPT (1<<2) +#define READ (POLLIN|POLLRDNORM) +#define WRITE (POLLOUT|POLLWRNORM|POLLWRBAND) +#define EXCEPT (POLLRDBAND|POLLPRI) #define READWRITE (READ|WRITE) #define READWRITEEXCEPT (READ|WRITE|EXCEPT) Compiles on my amd64 FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE machine just fine and actually will now connect to the SOCKS server like it's supposed to.
