sockd.fc(5)

NAME

   sockd.fc - Frozen configuration file for SOCKS server

SYNOPSIS

   /etc/sockd.fc

DESCRIPTION

   The  frozen  configuration  file  is  produced  by  make_sockdfc and is
   essentially the memory image of the parsed  configuration  file.  Using
   the  frozen  configuration  file  can  reduce the start-up delay of the
   SOCKS server program since it no longer has to parse the file contents.

   When  the  SOCKS  server  starts,  it  always  looks  for  the   frozen
   configuration  file  /etc/sockd.fc first. If that file is not found, it
   then tries to use the plain-text configuration file /etc/sockd.conf. If
   you  use  frozen  configuration,  you must remember to run make_sockdfc
   every time after you modify the plain-text file  or  the  SOCKS  server
   will continue to use the frozen file of a previous configuration.

   To   find  out  the  contents  of  a  frozen  configuration  file,  use
   dump_sockdfc.
