Hi, I recently installed 4.2 on a machine, and I was having trouble getting nat & the firewall to work. As part of my trouble shooting, I added: echo "firewall type: $firewall_type" echo "natd_enable" $natd_enable" what rc.firewall spit back when I ran 'source rc.firewall' was firewall type: natd_enable: It seemed that rc.firewall wasn't properly sourcing /etc/defaults/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf. My cheap fix was to add firewall_type and natd_enable to rc.firewall (after the sourcing of /etc/defaults/rc.conf), and it all worked fine. I'd only edited /etc/rc.conf minimally (mostly via /stand/sysinstall) to setup variables for the firewall & nat. I couldn't figure out what was wrong--I'm hoping someone can help point out what might be the trouble, or if there's a known issue like this with 4.2-Release. Also...I followed the instructions at mostgraveconcern for setting up an ntp client. rc.conf ### Network Time Services options: ### xntpd_enable="YES" xntpd_program="ntpd" xntpd_flags="-p /var/run/ntpd.pid" ntp.conf server time.nist.gov prefer server 127.127.1.0 fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 driftfile /etc/ntp.drift ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
