IPMASQ: turning it 'on'?

IPMASQ: turning it 'on'?

Post by John Brashie » Thu, 29 Jul 1999 04:00:00



I hate to bug you guys with what seems to be a crassly newbie question,
but here goes:

On the HOWTO, it mentions how to compile and configure IPMASQ
if you don't have it, but it doesn't tell you how to start it up if it
comes
included with your distribution. Do I have to edit my rc.local file?
Or is there something else I have to "turn on" to get it to work?
I have already configured two ethernet cards, and the IP's etc...
I think this is it for me to be up. Thanks.

John

To turn it on, you use the ipfwadm tool (for Linux 2.0.x kernels)
or the ipchains tool (for Linux 2.1.x, 2.2.x, and presumably 2.3.x
kernels)

Both are available from XOS (http://www.xos.nl/)
