Two bugs, you missed an end at the end of

./lib/rex/socket/parameters.rb

And did you forget to commit something as I get

undefined method `peerhost=' for #<Rex::Socket::Parameters:0xb6594384>

followed by

undefined method `localhost=' for #<Rex::Socket::Parameters:0xb659c994>

if I comment out the peerhost stuff.

I haven't got time to debug it now but I'll have a look at it later,
see if I can see what is wrong rather than just saying it doesn't
work.
