Hardware consists of a ISDN connected to a K6/233 32M machine. Additionally a 3Com (ep0) interface connected through a router to an iMac/A. Hardware configuration was not altered between 3.0R and 2.2.8R on either machine. No hardware or software changes made to either machine, other than moving from 3.0 to 2.2.8. Hardware failure possibility eliminated, since files were successfully transferred via netatalk+asun in both directions. >Description: The current version of natd does not seem to allow the mixing of different forms of options on the command line. The reason why this is confusing (and why it may not have been caught before) is that the manpage encourages users to use the long form of the command line option, but the primary use of natd is in the rc.conf file. When it is invoked via /etc/rc, the -n <interface> form is used. If the user specifies the long form of additional options in rc.conf, natd does not correctly route packets. Additional options were: -log -use_sockets -same_ports -unregistered_only -dynamic >How-To-Repeat: Combine long form of options with -n ep0 >Fix: Change of source code to allow combinations of different forms of options. OR Document behavior on manpage. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
