You need two commands: $IPCH -A input -j ACCEPT -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 auth -i $EXTERN_IF ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L $EXTERN_IF auth -R inter.nal.ip.addr auth (replacing inter.nal.ip.addr with the actual IP address of your IRC workstation, of course). You *can* replace the "-d 0/0" with the external address/netmask if you prefer. At least I think this is correct. I haven't done it recently. The idea is that the first command lets the packets through the firewall, and the second does the actual forwarding to the internal server (which, of course, needs to be running some identd daemon on port 113, the auth port, of the internal server). If your firewall rules also block replies from port 113, you'll need to change that too. -- ------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"--- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
