I didn't find "IPFILTER" in either the GENERIC or NOTES kernel files, so no, I didn't compile it in. I was wondering about it, though, based on older kernel help messages I found on the net (> 10 years old). I'll give both of those options a try. Thanks! - Michael

I built a custom kernel that is basically GENERIC minus some hardware stuff I don't need, plus a few things that look cool. When I attempt to run the ipnat command, I get the error: /dev/ipnat: open: No such file or directory Sure enough, there are no ip* devices in /dev/. In the "olden days", when I used to do a lot of BSD hacking, you used MAKEDEV to make the devices you wanted. Nowadays, it's done with devfs. I believe the upshot is that it's supposed to be semi-automagic, isn't it? Anyway, what am I doing wrong? What do I need to configure to use ipnat and then later ipfw or ipfilter? Did you load the modules? ipl_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf and reboot OR kldload ipl If you did not compile IPFILTER in the kernel, then you must load the module. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "The only time a woman really succeeds in changing a man is when he is a baby." - Natalie Wood _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
