(Please CC: me, as I am not subscribed.) Hello: I'm rebuilding a machine with today's source, and have run into a confusion. Section 30.6.1 of the Handbook says: IPFW is included in the basic FreeBSD install as a separate run time loadable module. The system will dynamically load the kernel module when the rc.conf statement firewall_enable="YES" is used. There is no need to compile IPFW into the FreeBSD kernel unless NAT functionality is desired. Section 30.6.2 of the Handbook says: options IPDIVERT This enables the use of NAT functionality. However, section 31.9.3 says: The kernel features for network address translation with natd(8) are not enabled in the GENERIC kernel, but they can be preloaded at boot time, by adding a couple of options to /boot/loader.conf: ipfw_load="YES" ipdivert_load="YES" Also: huff@> find /boot/kernel -name "ipf*.ko" /boot/kernel/ipfw.ko /boot/kernel/ipfw_nat.ko ????? What is the current working and prefered way to get ipfw+NAT working? Respectfully, Robert Huff
