what goes in /etc/ipf.conf? what other stuff? i'm quite confused what
exactly "ipfilter" does. i just want ip masquerading on NetBSD. is
"ipfilter" another name for this? "ipfilter" seems to do a lot of other
fancy stuff that i'm not currently interested in. i can always learn from
sample files people have. anyone else use ipnat? please send me some of
your config files and related stuff.

the software compiled fine. there's no mention of "ipnat" in the readme,
and attempting to run ipnat gives an error "open: No such file or
directory". it probably needs a config file, but i'd like to know what
exactly constitutes one.

thanks,
