I think you may misunderstand the bug report. I want the default "fallback" case to be completely transparent -- no error messages or warnings like the following: 48710,2> apt-src install lvm2 Reading package lists...

Falling back to direct connection. Get:1 http://mirror.internode.on.net testing/main diffstat 1.45-2 [22.3kB] ... If the user has gone to the trouble of explicitly marking the default case as "fallback = yes", then they already know when they are passing connections to external networks, they won't be going through a socks server. They don't need reminding via an error/warning message. In other words, the snippet would be something like this: if (path->address == NULL) { if (path == &(config->defaultserver)) { if (config->fallback) { return(realconnect(__fd, __addr, __len)); } else { show_msg(MSGERR, "Connection needs to be made " "via default server but " "the default server has not " "been specified. Fallback is 'no' so " "coudln't establish the connection.\n"); } } I am using tsocks to get into specific networks behind firewalls. For every other network, I want tsocks to just pass the connection straight through to glibc. If it does this, then I can put tsocks into my $LD_PRELOAD, and I don't have to do anything special when I chop and change between any commands that need to access those firewalled networks, and commands that need to access the greater internet at large (the latter, with no noticable performance decrease or other bad effects when I disable the above error message). In fact, I can set the LD_PRELOAD for my entire window manager, and don't have to touch it for any of my subshells! But it does rely on being able to tell libtsocks not to complain about connections I have already told it that I don't want it handling them. Incidentally, my man page had two copies of the fallback paragraph, but I can't see how this happened from the patches in the src-deb. -- TimC Jun 26 14:08:17 kernel: troll-o-meter (pid 15134) killed: memory exhausted -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
