Please package it. When downloading a 15M mozilla or a ???M kde
I thing downloading additionally 20k will not hurt anyone.

And please use this for /usr/bin/tsocks


8<   8<   8<   8<   8<   8<

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
        on)
                if [ -z "$LD_PRELOAD" ]
                then
                        export LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libtsocks.so"
                else
                        echo $LD_PRELOAD | grep -q "/usr/lib/libtsocks\.so" ||
                        export LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libtsocks.so:$LD_PRELOAD" 
                fi
                ;;
        off)
                export LD_PRELOAD=`echo -n $LD_PRELOAD | sed "s/\/usr\/lib\/libtsocks.so:\?//"`
                if [ -z "$LD_PRELOAD" ]
                then
                        unset LD_PRELOAD
                fi
                ;;
esac

8=   8=   8=   8=   8=   8=

It makes using tsocks really simple. If you want to use tsocks type
tsocks on and the other LD_PRELOAD settings stay untouched

If you want to stop using it then type tsocks off. That's it.
