Hi!
I have an idea of how to implement IP masquerading application modules as loadable by kerneld. If we have the kernel to send a message to load a module "ip-masq-%d", %d being the port number for the masqerade application wanted. Then, some code needs to be added to the 'modprobe' command so that it accepts the following syntax in /etc/conf.modules:-
alias ip-masq-21 ip_masq_ftp alias ip-masq-* off
, or modify kerneld/modprobe so that it reads a config file to find the IP masquerade aliases thatm do exist, and effectively implements the above syntax, even if you only specify
alias ip-masq-21 ip_masq_ftp
Anyone else have any comments/suggestions about this?
