Geek break

Note to self: I set up natd on Moe today so that Lucinda’s Mac can connect out to the Internet. To do this, I had to recompile the kernel, with these new options added:

options IPFIREWALL
options IPDIVERT

Then I had to add the following to /etc/rc.conf:

gateway_enable=”YES”
firewall_enable=”YES”
firewall_type=”OPEN”
natd_enable=”YES”
natd_interface=”dc0″
natd_flags=””

And voilà. It works. Now Itunes can see the Apple music store and Cathy can load up her ipod with all manner of stuff.

Have I mentioned recently that FreeBSD rocks?
