NetBSD clarity.homeip.net 2.1_STABLE NetBSD 2.1_STABLE (CLARITY) #19: Fri Mar 24 18:45:26 EST 2006  root@clarity.homeip.net:/usr/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/CLARITY i386
>Description:
The device /dev/iplookup is required in able to use ippool which is a subset of ipf. This device is missing.


>How-To-Repeat:
Unless I messed something up, this device is not being created using the install and upgrade process. This may be an oversight in all NetBSD branches. I do not know how to check.
>Fix:
To quote Darren Reed:
If you do "ls -al /dev/ipnat", you should see something like:
crw-------  1 root  wheel  44, 1 May 15 07:08 /dev/ipnat

do:
mknod /dev/iplookup c 44 6
