>"As a new user, I found it very confusing to setup IP masquerade on the Linux
|
|
kernel, (back then, its was a 1.2.x kernel). Although there was a FAQ and a
|
|
mailing list, there was no documentation dedicated to this. There was also
|
|
some requests on the mailing list for a HOWTO manual. So, I decided to write
|
|
this HOWTO as a starting point for new users and possibly create a building
|
|
block for other knowledgeable users. If you, the reader, have any additional
|
|
ideas, corrections, or questions about this document, please feel free to
|
|
contact us. "</SPAN

|
|
>Ambrose Au</A
|
|
> back in August, 1996,
|
|
based on the 1.x kernel IPMASQ FAQ written by Ken Eves and numerous helpful
|
|
messages from the original IP Masquerade mailing list. In particular, a
|
|
mailing list message from Matthew Driver inspired Ambrose to set up IP
|
|
Masquerade and eventually write version 0.80 of this HOWTO. In April 1997,
|
|
Ambrose created the Linux IP Masquerade Resource Web site at
|
|
<A
|
|
HREF="http://ipmasq.webhop.net"
|
|
TARGET="_top"
|
|
>http://ipmasq.webhop.net</A

|
|
provided up-to-date information on Linux IP Masquerading ever since. In

February 1999, <A

|
|
>David Ranch</A

|
|
maintenance of the HOWTO. David then re-wrote the HOWTO and added a
|
|
substantial number of sections to the document. Today, the HOWTO is still
|
|
maintained by David where he constantly updates it and fixes any reported bugs,
|
|
etc. </P

>This HOWTO is meant to be a fairly comprehensive guide to getting your Linux

|
IP Masquerading system working in the shortest time possible. David only
|
|
plays a technical writer on T.V. so you might find the information in this
|
|
document not as general and/or objective as it could be. If you think a
|
|
section could be clearer, etc.. please let David know. The latest version of
|
|
the MASQ HOWTO can be found at

instead of sending email to David or Ambrose. Most MASQ problems are -common-
|
|
for ALL MASQ users and can be easily solved by users on the list. In addition
|
|
to this, the response time of the IP MASQ email list will be much faster than
|

a reply from either David or Ambrose. </EM
