Re: ITP: tsocks -- transparent network access through a SOCKS 4 or 5 proxy
Sorry, I wrote an Answer to Tamas Szerb and forgot to send it to the
list. It explains why tsocks prog [args ...] is not always a good idea:

The function ts calls the script tsocks (I posted before) which will set
LD_PRELOAD for the following commands.
Please read below why I did it this way.

No. It is not!
Some problems about tsocks(the script supplied within the package):
tsocks lftp ftp.somewhere.xy
works fine until you press ^Z
normally lftp catches this and brings the running job to background
when using tsocks lftp .... the ^Z is for some reason captured by
bash and suspends lftp.
That's why I like the LD_PRELOAD way but without typing it always.
