If you read the FAQ, and follow question 10.6. Does FreeBSD support NAT or Masquerading, it has a link to the natd manpage: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?natd. The section "Running NATD" gives step by step instructions on getting NAT up and running. For manpages in general, you can go to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?manpath=FreeBSD+3.1-RELEASE I believe that you can use ipfw ('man ipfw' at the URL above) to do the same stuff as IPFilter. > Regards, > > Thomas Uhrfelt --- John Baldwin <jobaldwi@vt.edu> -- http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/ PGP Key: http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
