$ 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.
