Hi there... I stumbled on the same problem and I am now running it with the scipt in /etc/rc.boot/ipmasq disabled, and a startup file similar to what you are using. It seems to be the simplest way to run IP masq. I ahaven't tried deciphering the script that uses /etc/ipmasq.conf to see what it does different from th 2 simple lines that seem to work just fine.
I believe there is some fine line between setting up masqarading and protecting the system from the outside world, as setup in /etc/init.d/netbase spoofing section... I need to read some more and try to figure out how these itnerellate to each other. I think i have spoofing protection disabled on my machine; I commented out all the "deny" lines :) I hope some of this makes sense...helpful comments are always welcomed :) Dimitri At 06:31 PM 10/08/1998 -0400, Lee Bradshaw wrote: >Hi, > >How am I supposed to use the ipmasq package with ppp?
