Just be sure that Brian changes ppp also so that it > becomes -nat with -alias as a backwards-compat option only. :) If libalias changes to libnat, I'd prefer to just change the ppp flag to -nat, update the ppp version to 2.1 and update src/usr.sbin/ppp/README.changes, otherwise I'll be running around with the crud forever. But this isn't necessarily a good idea as it may attract a pile of ``why the hell did you break my configuration for no good reason'' messages. Anyone with any strong opinions on this ? Of course it's not guaranteed that libalias will change to libnat, there's another thread starting on -hackers about that :-) It's also possible to change the ppp flag, even if libalias isn't renamed. > - Jordan -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
