I built a custom kernel that = is basically GENERIC minus some hardware stuff I don't need, plus a few = things that look cool. =20 When I attempt to run the ipnat command, I get the error: /dev/ipnat: open: No such file or directory =20 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? =20 Anyway, what am I doing wrong? What do I need to configure to use ipnat = and then later ipfw or ipfilter? =20 - Michael
