Dear all,

I'd like to inform you all. For the people it concerns. How you can set
up masquerading on a kernel 2.2.2 including dhclient support.

First of all you need to start dhclient manually as it doesn't work via
yast. As you cant configure your second ether net or device and may be
even third device. Than you also have the following problem when you use
dhclient that is delivered with Suse. As it is release pl6 it has the
following bug. I will also reset the routing information on the
secondary device. After you have upgraded it from the following ftp
site: ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/dhcp/   dhcp-2.0b1pl17 is currently the last
version. I hope there will be a yast update soon so i can configure my
secondary device eth1 via yast when i'm using dhcp on my primary device.

If you want to use masquerading with kernel 2.2.2 you firstly need to
install for directory n1 the chains packages. You also need new
masquerading scripts. This is perfectly described at site:
http://www.suse.com/~bb/FW-HOWTO/FW-Howto.html .

For kernel 2.0.36 i also needed to switch on ipforwarding i left it
switched on. I don't know if my present configuration did do anything
with this.

If someone has an idea how to change the configuration so i can use
dhclient so i can automatically start it it'll be great. i will also try
to find it out. It would be great if in the /etc/rc.config file would be
an item where you could set which device dhclient would use.

I hope it's helpful.

Joop.

NB i'm very happy with my SUSE Linux distribution. It's ideal for people
who are starters with Linux as well as for people who are advanced
users.
