SSH via a SOCKS proxy ?

This looks interesting. though i've not tried compiling it.

Hi Andrew,
The command to whose source Andy provides a link is designed to be used as a ProxyCommand by Sun on Solaris systems. The web page, Hack 92 SSH SOCKS 4 Proxy discusses the use of built in SOCKS 4 proxy support in OpenSSH on OS X and claims at the bottom that built in SOCKS 5 support is in the works. I don't know the status of that effort.

This post in the BSDForums.org, HTTP proxy auth for nc(1) offers a patch for NetCat that is purported to allow it to be used as a ProxyCommand for OpenSSH. The "connect" command can be used as a ProxyCommand and SSH via a Socks proxy on OS X with connect.c discusses how to compile and use it on OS X. More detail is provided at SSH Proxy Command -- connect.c but I'm currently unable to connect to the machine on which the source resides.

Hi Andrew,
Well, I didn't find any except one cached by Google. I don't know if that's the latest or what but I "cleaned it up" and posted it for you at connect.c.gz. I hope it works.
