Setting up a tsocks config file

I'm trying to get tsocks to work on my computer.

I'm using
Code:
ssh -ND 9998 192.168.1.3
to set up my proxy. My tsocks.conf is


Code:
#Local addresses
local = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

#Config for external ones
server = 127.0.0.1
server_port=9998
server_type=5


I believe that this should work, however, I get the following output:


Code:

I'm not sure why it's blowing up on line 7 of the config, since it conforms to the specs. (Yes, it is a version 5 server)
Just from looking at your example, and confirmed by looking on the internet, you included spaces surround the = sign for local and server, why not for server_port and server_type?

Hm, well, something happened overnight. No matter what the contents of the config file are (even renaming the config) it always outputs


Code:
[sean@Deep-Thought dev86-0.16.19]$ tsocks wicd google.com
Root privileges are required for the daemon to run properly.  Exiting.


It gives no acknowledgement when running as root that anything is wrong, other than the lack of connectivity.

I was under the impression that this program was designed to expose root functions that could put a middleman in between non-socks-aware applications and a proxy. I'm very puzzled by this.
*Bump*

Still not sure what is causing this..
