Josh, The ports will only add support for SOCKS5 if you define WITH_SOCKS5. If you don't want SOCKS5 support, make sure WITH_SOCKS5 isn't defined (be sure to check your make.conf as well).
If you DO want SOCKS5 support enabled for epic[45] via ports, you're going to have to go through the rigamaroll you mentioned (re: finding SOCKS5 source, etc.). Seems the official SOCKS[45] site is quite annoying, I'll agree. Might try using www.filesearch.ru instead: http://www.filesearch.ru/cgi-bin/s?q=socks5-v1.0r11.tar.gz&t=f&w=a&x=21&y Good luck. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977. | On Sun, May 29, 2005 at 03:58:13PM -0500, Josh Paetzel wrote: > The epic4 and epic5 ports on FreeBSD have an option to include in > SOCKS5 support.
