ld.so.preload reload on startup

Bug Description

Using tsocks + tor is an ideal combination to allow anonimity when conecting to the net. To force every program to use it, you can configure it using tsocks and ld.so.preload. But when you restart the machine, tor is unable to connect since is using tsocks.

It should be ideal to have an init script that remove tsocks from ld.so.preload on shutdown and include it again once network and tor loaded (This case is with tor, but it can be the same with other programs)

Hi, I would suggest turning this request for an initscript in tsockets into a general feature request concerning comfortable network-anonymity - may be integrated as a pseudo-vpn into the networkmanager... imho the script you suggest never could be the default init-script for tsocks (since it could be used with other intentions).

I hope I understood the problem - never used tor or tsocks.

Would you mind writing the feature request and rejecting this bug?
