So i got this working. Make sure you have at least proxychains 3.1 edit the proxychains.conf file and make sure it points to a socks5 proxy running on port 1080 of localhost.
then you "sockify" a program by
$ proxychains <program name>
so if you want to use firefox over the socks5 you do
$ proxychains firefox
----
also, if you want to "sockify" your whole system, make a file called /etc/ld.so.preload (or similar) and add the line
/usr/lib/libproxychains.so
(or similar)
this forces libproxychains.so (which is what really does the "sockifying" to load before every executable.
This was all tested on ubuntu 8.10
note: I have not thoroughly tested the method of sockifying the whole system. It could have the potential to really mess up things I think.
I hope this helps someone.
