Hi,
I have to use a (closed-source) proprietary solution call Aventail
connect to VPN to work. On Linux, I have to prefix every command I run
with the command "avconnect" - for example : avconnect telnet <some host>
. This has the effect of socksifying (or whatever the right term is for
VPN), the socket calls. The documentation for this product says that if I
use Netscape in this manner, not to use the wrapper script, or it can
cause Netscape to crash. Sure enough, Netscape does crash with a "bus
error" every now and then.
I looked at the wrapper script in question trying to figure out
what the heck it does, and I must confess defeat. Not only could I not
figure out the purpose of the script and what it was doing, I also have no
idea as to what exactly I am to invoke, if trying to execute Netscape
without the wrapper. Maybe there is a way to modify the wrapper itself to
do what I need to do, but I hope someone can give me a clue in that
matter.
Thanks,
Jor-el
