This topic was discussed last January - should libalias be renamed to
libnat ?
As of a few days ago, ppp(8) supports the -nat flag (as well as
the -alias flag for backwards compatibility), however, it's not
clear that we really want to go the whole hog and change the
library name & interface too.
If it's changed, things will make more sense IMHO, however it'll make
life difficult for applications that already use libalias (if the
change is made, do we need a libalias library with stubs into
libnat ?)
Votes ?
Silence == no change.
