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 set firewall_type and natd_enable in 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 (which works for me on a different 4.1 machine):

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

in var/log/messages, ntpd starts,

Dec  1 12:12:34 batcave ntpd[371]: ntpd 4.0.99b Mon Nov 20 11:27:20 GMT 2000
(1)
Dec  1 12:12:34 batcave ntpd[371]: using kernel phase-lock loop 2001

But no time adjustments are ever made, and /etc/ntp.drift doesn't get
created.

I've read the man pages, and I'm at a loss as to why it's not making the
adjustments... (my firewall does allow the traffic, and ntpdate -b
time.nist.gov successfully changes the time (i'm running this hourly from a
cron job now since ntpd isn't working)).

THanks!
