Hi,
I built and installed a 2.4.20 kernel with packet filtering functions
and installed ipmasq, iptables, etc.
There's no manual pages on how to tell ipmasq or ip_tables to enable
all this stuff from a config file, or how to tell it what interface (eth0)
to use. There's a bunch of rules in /etc/ipmasq/rules, but there's no
explanation of how to use the whole system.
