NAME

   socks.fc - Frozen configuration file for SOCKS clients

SYNOPSIS

   /etc/socks.fc

DESCRIPTION

   The  frozen  configuration  file  is  produced  by  make_socksfc 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 client programs since they no  longer  have  to  parse  the  file
   contents.

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

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