>Description:
The natd man pages should include a recommendation to use the
-unregistered_only flag when using natd to do internet connection sharing. Its not obvious to a large number of people that their natd box could be used to launch an attack with out their knowledge.

The opportunity to use this might seem rather rare, but as more and more people use natd on cable, dsl, and university dorm connections this become a greater problem.

Also, the instructions in the man page to set up natd could use some updating.
