Hey thanks, it seems that ipfw complains during boot with a message:
hostname ``or'' unknown which I have no idea where that is coming from yet, but will look. Then natd doesn't get started. If I run /etc/rc.d/ipfw start then the router is up and natd gets started. For now, I'll probably just add it to rc at the end. I think it has something to do with the order things get run. My firewall script is for a dhcp interface. Since I don't know the IP, I use ifconfig dc0 | grep -v inet6 | grep inet | awk ... to get the IP address for some of the rules. I'm wondering if this is failing and causing the message above. Is there a 'recommended' way to create a rule for ipfw on a dhcp interface using its IP address?
