Arch Linux

after some research found that file /etc/conf.d/redsocks must be created, containing
REDSOCKS_CONF=/etc/redsocks.conf

[root@shashilx ~]# systemctl start redsocks
Job for redsocks.service failed. See "systemctl status redsocks.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

after looking in /usr/lib/systemd/system/redsocks.service I've found this
EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/redsocks

and after looking in /etc/conf.d - no file redsocks. and also I don't know what must be in this file :(

I've made some significant changes to the current package including using the official repo (the libevent2 fix was merged quite a while ago), running redsocks as its own user/group (to restrict its privileges) and generally aligning the package style to that of packages in the official repos (based on dnsmasq and bitlbee).

Please review and merge:

Hm, darkk didn't update it yet, so I switched the package to bjin's repo.

chx, thanks for the info. I'll wait few more days - maybe darkk will pull the fix for libevent2 into main repo.

You need to get redsocks from https://github.com/bjin/redsocks/tree/libevent2-fix (git clone -b libevent2-fix https://github.com/bjin/redsocks.git) for now 'cos the original won't compile.

Added rc.d script by crequill.

Hi,

I've added a script in /etc/rc.d/redsocks to launch it as a daemon. Here is the PKGBUILD: http://aur.pastebin.com/HVGbaZjN and redsocks.rc (/etc/rc.d/redsocks): http://aur.pastebin.com/HNdcfNjM
