Hi.....this is my second ask here...i hope someone respond me...please!!!....I 
am an normal human been, I need a little help!!....
I want to know.....where is the ipnatctl binaries to download?.....
I have to install a Linux Firewall for an intranet and i need to do static NAT 
(I don\'t want use portfw)...I have read ipnatctl can do that if I use iptables 
with kernel 2.4...

Ip tables How to talks about ipnatctl as the same funtion as -j MASQ option in 
ipchains along with the new static NAT feature......but i can open 
http://netfilter.kernelnotes.org/ in order to download the package.

a friend told me that ipnatctl never come true.....and it was joined to a 
iptables package...anybody know if it\'s true??.....or how can use iptables to 
do static NAT??

THANKS A LOT!!

I think that project died quite some time ago. Check

http://netfilter.samba.org

Some pretty good docs there. There is a mirror at filewatcher.org too
I think.


David, Greg, etc:

From  http://netfilter.samba.org/unreliable-guides/

The LDP guys no longer return my EMails (from me or my hamster). <<<<

On a quick look, I don't see any of his docs at LDP, but he has a link
to us on this page.

We publish the Linux IPChains HOWTO at
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/IPCHAINS-HOWTO.html

Do you want to write to him and see if he'll send us the others? Then
we'll answer his emails. ;-)

I believe I contacted him about a year ago after I saw that.
Can't recall the outcome though.

I gave him a shout. His 'What's Rusty Up to' page, says he is on
holiday, so I don't expect a quick response.

Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology,"
start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.

Was this a quiet 'DROP' or a 'REJECT'? ;)

These look to be licensed under the GPL. Is there anything wrong with
incorporating these as is? Realizing of course, it is more desirable
to have his active consent and participation, but reproduction would
seem to be permissable.

IMHO, these are the definitive reference on iptables, and seems to me
it leaves a gaping hole in the current collection.

Well, let's just keep trying. Sooner or later, he'll probably answer.
