There is certainly code in there for FTP and a few other thing. No sign of IRC stuff, but I could easily have missed it. In natd this stuff is actually taken care of by libalias, hence ppp -nat gets the same functionality. This could do with being documented a bit better, since it's one of the most important features of a good NAT implimentation, and people concidering switching from some other system are going to want to know if they're going to loose the functionality of ip_nat_irc etc. I know I did; in the end I found myself looking through the source to find out :) Maybe an .Xr libalias 3 is in order, or a short mention of this functionality in Notes. -- Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst - freaky@aagh.net - http://www.aagh.net/ - The Czechs announced after Sputnik that they, too, would launch a satellite.
