Note if you use ppp set interface to tun0 not >to ppp0. I'm using kernel ppp (pppd). It is already set up and it runs. I have set up FreeBSD boxes before with this configuration, and natd started automatically and ran without any intervention on my part. For some reason, it doesn't do that this time, and I have to start it manually. I'm hoping someone can tell me why, so I can fix it.
