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)).
