- Buffer space problem found by Sergio Lenzi <lenzi@bsi.com.br>
fixed. Natd now waits with select(2) for buffer space to become available if write fails. - Packet aliasing library upgraded to 2.2. Submitted by: Ari Suutari <suutari@iki.fi>

+
+ A Network Address Translation Daemon for FreeBSD
+
+
+1. WHAT IS NATD ?
+
+ This is a simple daemon based on FreeBSD divert sockets
+ which performs network address translation (or masquerading)
+ for IP packets (see related RFCs 1631 and 1918).
+ It is based on packet aliasing package (see README.alias)
+ written by Charles Mott (cmott@srv.net).
+
+ This package works with any network interface (doesn't have
+ to be ppp). I run it on a computer having two ethernet cards,
+ one connected to internet and the other one to local network.
+
+2. GETTING IT RUNNING
+
+ 1) Get FreeBSD 2.2 - I think the divert sockets are
+ not available on earlier versions,
+
+ 2) Compile this software by executing "make".
+
+ 3) Install the software by executing "make install".
+
+ 4) See man natd for further instructions.
+
+3. FTP SITES FOR NATD
+
+ This package is available at ftp://ftp.suutari.iki.fi/pub/natd.
+
+4. AUTHORS
+
+ This program is the result of the efforts of many people
+ at different times:
+
+ Archie Cobbs <archie@whistle.com> Divert sockets
+ Charles Mott <cmott@srv.net> Packet aliasing engine
+ Eivind Eklund <eivind@dimaga.com> Packet aliasing engine
+ Ari Suutari <suutari@iki.fi> Natd
+ Brian Somers <brian@awfulhak.org> Manual page, glue and
+ bunch of good ideas.
+
+ The original package written by Charles Mott
+ is available at http://www.srv.net/~cmott.
+ It is described in README.alias.
+
+ Happy Networking - comments and fixes are welcome!
