The ipfw rules only allow internal LAN users access to external Internet services (email, http, telnet, dns, passive mode ftp). Everything seems to be working fine, except that the following natd message keeps appearing on the console: natd[173]: failed to write packet back (Permission denied) I understand about failing to write the packet back, but what does [173] signify in terms of natd? (looking in the services file, xyplex-mux is assigned to port 173, which somehow doesn't seem relevant). The natd configuration is: -use_sockets -same_ports -unregistered_only -dynamic Thanks for you help.
