Since I am having ipnat problems on FreeBSD 5.4, and none on 5.3, I was hoping to help out the matter of tracking down the bug. I was wanting a little help with backing out some CVS changes made in the last three months to the kernel. I see now that ipnat has undergone a major update between 5.3 and 5.4. And whatever happened, caused me (and apparently a few others) grief: ipnat won't load its tables at boot time, although it runs as if it is fine. I have filed a PR, and started a thread on freebsd-stable, but now I need some help. I have tried the only suggestion I got on the other list -- to enable ipv6. No good. My future plans are to run the GENERIC kernel (but one person with this problem was using the GENERIC kernel), and to backout the CVS changes. I don't really know how to build a custom kernel like this, though. Also, is there any debugging or programs I could run during the times of failure to see any unusual activity on the systems? See PR 81606 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/81606 See threads at http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2005-May/015329.html and http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2005-May/015507.html See CVS changes at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/contrib/ipfilter/netinet/ The maintainer and author of ipfilter was doing this: "Merge the changes from 3.4.35 to 4.1.8 into the kernel source tree" Thanks Billy
