In 4.2-STABLE, /etc/rc.network has entries to turn on natd. However, natd does not get enabled if you don't specify natd_interface. WHat if you you have setup stored in a configuration file and do not wish to supply an interface flag in /etc/rc.conf? Well, natd does not turn on! Would it make more sense to do something like (psuedo-ish code): if (natd_enable = YES) if (natd_interface defined) natd -n $natd_interface $natd_flags elif (natd_flags defined) natd $natd_flags fi fi It would allow for people to not specify a natd_interface but still be able to run natd out of rc.conf. What does everyone think of this? I guess you pay the penalty if someone doesn't setup the flags properly but I guess you could write that off as a config error anyways.
