Note the following in /etc/rc.conf: gateway_enable="NO" # Set to YES if this host will be a gateway. router_enable="NO" # Set to YES to enable a routing daemon. router="routed" # Name of routing daemon to use if enabled. router_flags="-q" # Flags for routing daemon. So to be a gateway, change gateway_enable to "YES". To enable a routing daemon, change router_enable to "YES". If you don't like the -q flag to routed, change it. -Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
