OK. I updated the gist as a result of these comments.

Should the procedure remain silent on the firewall? Or should people just put 
all interfaces into the lan zone? Or something else?

I think you mean E1 - that's what the instructions use for the wide area 
interface. And 'option mode external' goes in /etc/config/network? 

And is there a man page for hnetd that gives other options? The Googles didn't 
help me...

Done. The newest draft also tells people to make backups :-)

I'm not quite sure how that affects things. Where would NAT-PMP be important in 
my home net? 

And finally, a prosaic question: There is a wide variety of single quote usage 
in config files. Are there any places that quotes are mandatory? What is the 
best practice here?

Many thanks!
