sorry for having been imprecise. What I was asking for was this change: --- /usr/src/etc/rc.firewall 2012-11-17 12:36:10.000000000 +0100 +++ rc.firewall 2013-02-06 11:35:45.000000000 +0100 @@ -155,6 +155,7 @@ case ${natd_enable} in [Yy][Ee][Ss]) if [ -n "${natd_interface}" ]; then + ${fwcmd} add 49 allow ip from me to not me out via ${natd_interface} ${fwcmd} add 50 divert natd ip4 from any to any via ${natd_interface} fi ;; >> (And I wonder if the rules for the ipfw kernel firewall need a >> similar addition, because the system locks up under heavy network >> load if I use that instead of natd.) > > Which rc.firewall ruleset are you referring to? My rc.conf has: gateway_enable="YES" firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="OPEN" natd_enable="YES" natd_interface="bce0" With the patch above, that seems to work fine. I tried to replace the natd_* lines with: firewall_nat_enable="YES" firewall_nat_interface="bce0" which caused the machine to lock up under load, similar to when natd started eating CPU cycles. This made me wonder if a similar patch to the above for the firewall_nat_* case in rc.firewall might be needed. > There certainly are > problems with the 'simple' ruleset relating to use of $natd_enable vs > $firewall_nat_enable (not to mention the denial of ALL icmp traffic) > that I posted patches to a couple of years ago in ipfw@ to rc.firewall > and /etc/rc.d/{ipfw,natd) addressing about 4 PRs .. sadly to no avail. > > I suggest following up to ipfw@ (cc'd) rather than net@ Will subscribe, thanks.
