In local.freebsd.questions you write: >ok, i have a few questions that i am having trouble finding the answers >too >all the tutorials i see say that you need to recompiled the kernel to add >NETGRAPH support. but the current versions of freebsd will load it >automatically if you don't have it compiled in the kernel, right? so is it >better to just let it load, or is it better to have it in the kernel? The tutorials are a bit dated. You don't have to modify your kernel to run pppoe, just let the automatic loading take care of it. >second question: you can add options for NAT in the ppp.conf file. does >this mean that ppp takes care of all the NAT stuff? or do i still have to >set up natd? if ppp does take care of all the nat stuff, do i still have >to compile IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT into the kernel? Ppp will handle nat for you. No kernel changes required. $.02, /Mikko -- Mikko Työläjärvi_______________________________________mikko@rsasecurity.com RSA Security To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
