FWIW, for a _clean_ install of Debian 2.1 ipmasq just dropped in and started working. And I do mean dropped in. Compiled a kernel with the recommended configuration, installed the ipmasq package, and touched _NOTHING_ except to put the ftp module in /etc/modules. (I did have a little problem getting my second network masq'ed, but that's a different issue). And it's also true that no one here does anything with IRC. It's evil. ;-^> -- Pann McCuaig [EMAIL PROTECTED] PO Box 55549, Seattle, WA 98155 Technical Manager Phone: (206) 782-7733 ext 122 SSC, Inc. www.ssc.com Fax: (206) 782-7191 Linux Journal www.linuxjournal.com _______________________________________________ Masq maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tiffany.indyramp.com/mailman/listinfo/masq Admin requests can be handled by web (above) or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
