Hmm.. although you don't need rewt privileges to run socks maybe there
can be something wrong there... Can you send me a copy of your socks5 conf file?
It will be also useful to strace socks5 and attach the results to a future mail :)
I still don't get why ppl use socks instead of a good set of masquerade
rules... maybe U should try a ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.7.0/24 -d 0/0 -j MASQ if you're running a 2.1.xxx kernel or a ipfwadm -Fm -a acc -P tcp -S 192.168.7.0/24 -D 0/0 and use (on the local network) 192.168.7.1 as default gateway...
