+<title>Overview:</title>
+
+<para>The User-Mode PPP dialer in FreeBSD Version 2.2 (also known as:
+<emphasis remap=it>"IIJ-PPP"</emphasis> ) now supports Packet Aliasing for dial up
+connections to the Internet. This feature, also known as
+"<emphasis remap=it>Masquerading</emphasis>", "<emphasis remap=it>IP Aliasing</emphasis>", or "<emphasis remap=it>Network Address
+Translation</emphasis>", allows a FreeBSD system to act as a dial- on-demand
+router between an Ethernet-based Local Area Network and an Internet
+Service Provider. Systems on the LAN can use the FreeBSD system to
+forward information between the Internet by means of a single
+dial-connection.</para>
+
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Purpose of this Guide.</title>
+
+<para>This guide explains how to:
+<itemizedlist>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>Configure the FreeBSD system to support dial-out connections,</para>

+
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+
+<para>While the focus of this guide is to assist in configuring IP Aliasing,
+it also includes specific examples of the configuration steps necessary
+to configure and install each individual component; each section stands
+alone and may be used to assist in the configuration of various aspects

+<title>Building the Local Area Network</title>
+
+<para> While the ppp program can, and usually is, be configured to provide
+services to <emphasis>only</emphasis> the local FreeBSD box it can also be used to serve as a
+"Gateway" (or "router") between other LAN-connected resources and the Internet or
+other Dial-Up service.</para>

+<sect1>
+<title>Typical Network Topology</title>
+

++---------+ ----&gt; Dial-Up Internet Connection

+<title>Assumptions about the Local Area Network</title>
+
+<para>Some specific assumptions about this sample network are:</para>
+
+<para>Three workstations and a Server are connected with Ethernet
+cabling:
+<itemizedlist>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>a FreeBSD Server ("Curly") with an NE-2000 adapter configured as
+'ed0'</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>a Windows-95 workstation ("Larry") with Microsoft's "native"
+32-bit TCP/IP drivers</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>a Windows for Workgroups workstation ("Moe") with Microsoft's
+16-bit TCP/IP extensions</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>a Windows NT workstation ("Shemp") with Microsoft's "native"
+32-bit TCP/IP drivers</para>
+</listitem>
+
+</itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+
+<para>The IP Addresses on the Ethernet side of this sample LAN have been</para>
+
+<para>taken from the pool of "reserved" addresses proposed in RFC-1597.
+IP addresses are assigned as follows:
+<literallayout>Name IP Address
+"Curly" 192.168.1.1 # The FreeBSD box
+"Larry" 192.168.1.2 # The Win'95 box
+"Moe" 192.168.1.3 # The WfW box
+"Shemp" 192.168.1.4 # The Windows NT box</literallayout>
+</para>
+
+<para>This guide assumes that the modem on the FreeBSD box is connected
+to the first serial port ('<filename>/dev/cuaa0</filename>' or '<emphasis remap=tt>COM1:</emphasis>' in
+DOS-terms).</para>
+
+<para>Finally, we'll also assume that your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
+automatically provides the IP addresses of both your PPP/FreeBSD side
+as well as the ISP's side. (i.e.: Dynamic IP Addresses on both ends
+of the link.) Specific details for configuring the Dial-Out side of
+PPP will be addressed in Section 2, "Configuring the FreeBSD System".</para>
+

+
+<chapter>
+<title>FreeBSD System Configuration</title>
+
+<para>There are three basic pieces of information that must be known to
+the FreeBSD box before you can proceed with integrating the sample
+Local Area Network:</para>
+
+<para>
+<itemizedlist>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>The Host Name of the FreeBSD system; in our example it's "Curly",</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>The Network configuration,</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>The <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> file (which lists the names and IP addresses of
+the other systems in your network)</para>
+</listitem>
+
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+
+<para>If you performed the installation of FreeBSD over a network
+connection some of this information may already be configured into
+your FreeBSD system.</para>
+
+<para>Even if you believe that the FreeBSD system was properly configured
+when it was installed you should at least verify each of these bits of
+information to prevent trouble in subsequent steps.</para>
+
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Verifying the FreeBSD Host Name</title>
+
+<para>It's possible that the FreeBSD host name was specified and saved
+when the system was initially installed. To verify that it was, enter
+the following command at a prompt:</para>
+
+<para>
+<informalexample>
+<screen># hostname</screen>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>The name of the host FreeBSD system will be displayed on a single
+line. If the name looks correct (this is very subjective :-) skip
+ahead to Section 3.2, "Verifying the Ethernet Interface
+Configuration".</para>
+
+<para>For example, in our sample network, we would see 'curly.my.domain'
+as a result of the `hostname` command if the name had been set
+correctly during, or after, installation. (At this point, don't worry
+too much about the ".my.domain" part, we'll sort this out later. The
+important part is the name up to the first dot.)</para>
+
+<para>If a host name wasn't specified when FreeBSD was installed you'll
+probably see 'myname.my.domain` as a response. You'll need to edit
+<filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename> to set the name of the machine.</para>
+
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Configuring the FreeBSD Host Name</title>
+
+<para><emphasis><emphasis remap=bf>Reminder: You must be logged in as 'root' to edit the
+system configuration files!</emphasis></emphasis></para>
+
+<para><emphasis><emphasis remap=bf>CAUTION: If you mangle the system configuration files,
+chances are your system WILL NOT BOOT correctly! Be careful!</emphasis></emphasis></para>
+
+<para>The configuration file that specifies the FreeBSD system's host
+name when the system boots is in <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename>. Use the
+default text editor ('<emphasis remap=tt>ee</emphasis>') to edit this file.</para>
+
+<para>Logged in as user 'root' load <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename> into the
+editor with the following command:
+<informalexample>
+<screen># ee /etc/rc.conf</screen>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>Using the arrow keys, scroll down until you find the line that
+specifies the host name of the FreeBSD system. By default, this
+section says:
+<informalexample>
+<screen>---
+### Basic network options: ###
+hostname="myname.my.domain" # Set this!
+---</screen>
+</informalexample>
+
+Change this section to say (in our example):
+<informalexample>
+<screen>---
+### Basic network options: ###
+hostname="curly.my.domain" # Set this!
+---</screen>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>Once the change to the host name has been made, press the 'Esc' key to
+access the command menu. Select "leave editor" and make sure to
+specify "save changes" when prompted.</para>
+
+</sect2>
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Verifying the Ethernet Interface Configuration</title>
+
+<para>To reiterate our basic assumption, this guide assumes that the
+Ethernet Interface in the FreeBSD system is named '<emphasis remap=tt>ed0</emphasis>'. This is
+the default for NE-1000, NE-2000, WD/SMC models 8003, 8013 and Elite
+Ultra (8216) network adapters.</para>
+
+<para>Other models of network adapters may have different device names in
+FreeBSD. Check the FAQ for specifics about your network adapter. If
+you're not sure of the device name of your adapter, check the FreeBSD
+FAQ to determine the device name for the card you have and substitute
+that name (i.e.: '<emphasis remap=tt>de0</emphasis>', '<emphasis remap=tt>zp0</emphasis>', or similar) in the following
+steps.</para>
+
+<para>As was the case with the host name, the configuration for the
+FreeBSD system's Ethernet Interface may have been specified when the
+system was installed.</para>
+
+<para>To display the configuration for the interfaces in your
+FreeBSD system (Ethernet and others), enter the following command:
+<informalexample>
+<screen># ifconfig -a</screen>
+</informalexample>
+
+(In layman's terms: "Show me the <emphasis remap=bf>I</emphasis>nter<emphasis remap=bf>F</emphasis>ace <acronym>CONFIG</acronym>uration
+for my network devices.") </para>
+
+<para>An example:
+<informalexample>
+<screen># ifconfig -a
+ ed0: flags=8843&lt;UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST&gt; mtu
+1500
+ inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255

+ inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
+# _</screen>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>In this example, the following devices were displayed:</para>
+
+<para><emphasis remap=tt>ed0:</emphasis> The Ethernet Interface</para>
+
+<para><emphasis remap=tt>lp0:</emphasis> The Parallel Port Interface (ignored in this guide)</para>
+
+<para><emphasis remap=tt>tun0:</emphasis> The "tunnel" device; <emphasis>This is the one user-mode ppp uses!</emphasis></para>
+
+<para><emphasis remap=tt>sl0:</emphasis> The SL/IP device (ignored in this guide)</para>
+
+<para><emphasis remap=tt>ppp0:</emphasis> Another PPP device (for kernel ppp; ignored in this guide)</para>
+
+<para><emphasis remap=tt>lo0:</emphasis> The "Loopback" device (ignored in this guide)</para>
+
+<para>In this example, the 'ed0' device is up and running. The key
+indicators are:
+<orderedlist>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>Its status is "<acronym>UP</acronym>",</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>It has an Internet ("<emphasis remap=tt>inet</emphasis>") address, (in this case, 192.168.1.1)</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>It has a valid Subnet Mask ("netmask"; 0xffffff00 is the same as
+255.255.255.0), and</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>It has a valid broadcast address (in this case, 192.168.1.255).</para>
+</listitem>
+
+</orderedlist>
+</para>
+
+<para>If the line for the Ethernet card had shown something similar to:
+<informalexample>
+<screen>ed0: flags=8802&lt;BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST&gt; mtu 1500
+ ether 01:02:03:04:05:06</screen>
+</informalexample>
+
+then the Ethernet card hasn't been configured yet.</para>
+
+<para>If the configuration for the Ethernet interface is correct you can
+skip forward to Section 3.4, "Creating the list of other LAN hosts".
+Otherwise, proceed with the next section.</para>
+
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Configuring your Ethernet Interface</title>
+
+<para><emphasis><emphasis remap=bf>Reminder: You must be logged in as 'root' to edit the
+system configuration files!</emphasis></emphasis></para>
+
+<para><emphasis><emphasis remap=bf>CAUTION: If you mangle the system configuration files,
+chances are your system WILL NOT BOOT correctly! Be careful!</emphasis></emphasis></para>
+
+<para>The configuration file that specifies settings for the network
+interfaces when the system boots is in <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename>. Use
+the default text editor ('ee') to edit this file.</para>
+
+<para>Logged in as user 'root' load <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename> into the
+editor with the following command:</para>
+
+<para><command> # ee /etc/rc.conf</command></para>
+
+<para>About 20 lines from the top of <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename> is the section
+that describes which network interfaces should be activated when the
+system boots. In the default configuration file the specific line
+that controls this is:</para>
+
+<para>
+<informalexample>
+<screen>network_interfaces="lo0" # List of network interfaces (lo0 is loopback).</screen>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>You'll need to amend this line to tell FreeBSD that you want to add
+another device, namely the '<emphasis remap=tt>ed0</emphasis>' device. Change this line to
+read:</para>
+
+<para>
+<informalexample>
+<screen>network_interfaces="lo0 ed0" # List of network interfaces (lo0 is loopback).</screen>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>(Note the space between the definition for the loopback device
+("<emphasis remap=tt>lo0</emphasis>")
+and the Ethernet device ("<emphasis remap=tt>ed0</emphasis>")! </para>
+
+<para><emphasis><emphasis remap=bf> Reminder: If your Ethernet card isn't named '<emphasis remap=tt>ed0</emphasis>', specify
+the correct device name here instead.</emphasis></emphasis></para>
+
+<para>If you performed the installation of FreeBSD over a network
+connection then the '<literal>network_interfaces=</literal>' line may already
+include a reference to your Ethernet adapter. If it is, verify that
+it is the correct device name.</para>
+
+<para>Specify the Interface Settings for the Ethernet device
+('<emphasis remap=tt>ed0</emphasis>'):</para>
+
+<para>Beneath the line that specifies which interfaces should be
+activated are the lines that specify the actual settings for each
+interface. In the default <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename> file is a single
+line that says:</para>
+
+<para>
+<informalexample>
+<screen>ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration.</screen>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>You'll need to add another line after that to specify the settings
+for your '<emphasis remap=tt>ed0</emphasis>' device.</para>
+
+<para>If you performed the installation of FreeBSD over a network
+connection then there may already be an '<literal>ifconfig_ed0=</literal>' line
+after the loopback definition. If so, verify that it has the correct
+values.</para>
+
+<para>For our sample configuration we'll insert a line immediately after
+the loopback device definition that says:</para>
+
+<para>
+<informalexample>
+<screen>ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"</screen>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>When you've finished editing <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename> to specify and
+configure the network interfaces the section should look really close
+to:</para>
+
+<para>
+<informalexample>
+<screen>---
+network_interfaces="ed1 lo0" # List of network interfaces (lo0 is loopback).
+ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration.
+ifconfig_ed1="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
+---</screen>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>Once all of the necessary changes to <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename> have
+been made, press the 'Esc' key to invoke the control menu. Select
+"leave editor" and be sure to select "save changes" when prompted.</para>
+
+</sect2>

+
+<sect1>
+<title>Enabling Packet Forwarding</title>
+
+<para>By default the FreeBSD system will not forward IP packets between
+various network interfaces. In other words, routing functions (also
+known as gateway functions) are disabled.</para>
+
+<para>If your intent is to use a FreeBSD system as stand-alone Internet
+workstation and not as a gateway between LAN nodes and your ISP you
+should skip forward to Section 3.4, "Creating the List of Other
+LAN Hosts".</para>
+
+<para>If you intend for the PPP program to service the local FreeBSD box
+as well as LAN workstations (as a router) you'll need to enable IP
+forwarding.</para>
+
+<para>To enable IP Packet forwarding you'll need to edit the
+<filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename> file.
+Load this file into your editor with the following command:
+<informalexample>
+<screen># ee /etc/rc.conf</screen>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>About 85 lines down from the top of the file will be the
+configuration
+section which controls IP forwarding, which will look like:
+<informalexample>
+<screen>=====
+gateway_enable="NO" # Set to YES if this host will be a gateway.
+=====</screen>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>Change this line to read:
+<informalexample>
+<screen>=====
+gateway_enable="YES" # Set to YES if this host will be a gateway.
+=====</screen>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>and exit the editor (saving the changes!).</para>
+
+<para><emphasis><emphasis remap=bf>NOTE: This line may already be set to

+
+<sect1>
+<title>Creating the List of other LAN Hosts(<filename>/etc/hosts</filename>)</title>
+
+<para>The final step in configuring the LAN side of the FreeBSD system is
+to create a list of the names and TCP/IP addresses of the various
+systems that are connected to the Local Area Network. This list is
+stored in the '<filename>/etc/hosts</filename>' file.</para>
+
+<para>The default version of this file has only a single host name
+listing in it: the name and address of the loopback device ('lo0').
+By networking convention, this device is always named "localhost" and
+always has an IP address of 127.0.0.1. (See the interface
+configuration example in Section 3.2.)</para>
+
+<para>To edit the <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> file enter the following command:
+<informalexample>
+<screen> # ee /etc/hosts </screen>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>Scroll all the way to the bottom of the file (paying attention to
+the comments along the way; there's some good information there!) and
+enter (assuming our sample network) the following IP addresses and
+host names:
+<informalexample>

+</para>
+
+<para>(No changes are needed to the line for the '<emphasis remap=tt>127.0.0.1
+localhost</emphasis>' entry.)</para>

+your network.</para>
+
+<para>In this section we'll address the configuration(s) for both modes
+with emphasis on configuring your `ppp` environment to operate in
+"Automatic" mode.</para>

+<sect1>
+<title>Backing up the original PPP configuration files</title>
+
+<para>Before making any changes to the files which are used by PPP you
+should make a copy of the default files that were created when the
+FreeBSD system was installed.</para>

+
+<para>Make a backup copy the original files in the 'ppp' directory:</para>
+
+<para><emphasis remap=tt># cp -R ppp ppp.ORIGINAL</emphasis></para>

+<title>Create your own PPP configuration files</title>
+
+<para>By default, the FreeBSD installation process creates a number of
+sample configuration files in the /etc/ppp directory. Please take
+some time to review these files; they were derived from working
+systems and represent the features and capabilities of the PPP
+program.</para>
+

+
+This file, taken verbatim from a working system, has three relevant
+configuration sections:</para>
+
+
+<sect3>
+<title>The "<emphasis remap=tt>default</emphasis>" Section</title>
+
+<para>The '<emphasis remap=tt>default:</emphasis>' section contains the values and settings
+used by every other section in the file. Essentially, this section is
+implicitly added to the configuration lines to each other section.</para>
+
+<para>This is a good place to put "global defaults" applicable to all
+dial-up sessions; especially modem settings and dialing prefixes which
+typically don't change based on which destination system you're
+connecting to.</para>
+
+<para>Following are the descriptions of each line in the "default" section
+of the sample '<filename>/etc/ppp/ppp.conf</filename>' file:
+<informalexample>
+<screen>set device /dev/cuaa0</screen>
+</informalexample>
+
+This statement informs the PPP program that it should use the first
+serial port.
+Under FreeBSD the '<filename>/dev/cuaa0</filename>' device is the same port that's
+known as "<emphasis remap=tt>COM1:</emphasis>" under DOS, Windows, Windows 95, etc....</para>
+
+<para>If your modem is on <emphasis remap=tt>COM2:</emphasis> you should specify
+'<filename>/dev/cua01</filename>; <emphasis remap=tt>COM3:</emphasis> would be '<filename>/dev/cua02</filename>'.</para>
+
+<para>
+<informalexample>
+<screen>set speed 57600 </screen>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>This line sets the transmit and receive speed for the connection
+between the serial port and the modem. While the modem used for this
+configuration is only a 28.8 device, setting this value to 57600 lets
+the serial link run at a higher rate to accommodate higher throughput
+as a result of the data compression built into late-model modems.</para>
+
+<para>If you have trouble communicating with your modem, try setting this
+value to 38400 or even as low as 19200.</para>
+
+<para>
+<informalexample>
+<screen>disable pred1
+deny pred1</screen>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>These two lines disable the "CCP/Predictor type 1" compression
+features of the PPP program. The current version of `ppp` supports
+data compression in accordance with draft Internet standards.
+Unfortunately many ISPs use equipment that does not support this
+capability. Since most modems try to perform on-the-fly compression
+anyway you're probably not losing much performance by disabling this
+feature on the FreeBSD side and denying the remote side from forcing
+it on you.</para>
+
+<para>
+<informalexample>
+<screen>disable lqr
+deny lqr</screen>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>These two lines control the "Line Quality Reporting" functions which
+are part of the complete Point-to-Point (PPP) protocol specification.
+(See RFC-1989 for details.)</para>
+
+<para>The first line, "disable lqr", instructs the PPP program to not
+attempt to report line quality status to the device on the remote end.</para>
+
+<para>The second line, "deny lqr", instructs the PPP program to deny any
+attempts by the remote end to reports line quality.</para>
+
+<para>As most modern dial-up modems have automatic error correction and
+detection and LQR reporting is not fully implemented in many vendor's
+products it's generally a safe bet to include these two lines in the
+default configuration.</para>
+
+<para>

+</para>
+
+<para><emphasis>NOTE: (This statement should appear on a single line; ignore any
+line wrapping that may appear in this document.)</emphasis></para>
+
+<para>This line instructs the PPP program how to dial the modem and
+specifies some rudimentary guidelines for doing so:
+<itemizedlist>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>Attempts to dial should fail if the modem returns a "BUSY" result code,</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>Attempts to dial should also fail if the modem returns a "NO CARRIER" result code,</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>The PPP program should expect each of the following events to complete within a
+5-second timeout period:
+<itemizedlist>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>The PPP program will initially expect nothing (specified above
+by the \"\" portion of the statement) from the modem </para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>The program
+will send the modem initialization string "ATE1Q0M0" to the modem and
+await a response of "OK". If a response is not received, the program
+should send an attention command to the modem ("AT") and look again
+for a response of "OK", </para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>The program should delay for one second
+(specified by the "\\d" part of the statement, and send the dialing
+string to the modem. The "ATDT" portion of the statement is the
+standard modem prefix to dial using tone-dialing; if you do not have
+touch-tone service on your local phone line, replace the "ATDT" with
+"ATDP". The "\\T" string is a placeholder for the actual phone number
+(which will be automatically inserted as specified by the "set dial
+123-4567").</para>
+</listitem>
+
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para>Finally, before a (maximum) timeout of 40 seconds, the PPP
+program should expect to see a "CONNECT" result code returned from the
+modem.</para>
+</listitem>
+
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+
+<para>A failure at any point in this dialog will be interpreted as a dialing
+failure and the PPP program will fail to connect.</para>
+
+<para>(For a detailed description of the mini-scripting language used by the
+PPP dialer, refer to the "chat" manpage.)</para>
+
+<para>
+<informalexample>
+<screen>set redial 3 10</screen>

+
+<para>The example cited in this section of the guide presumes that you'll
+be connecting to a remote system that understands how to authenticate

+
+<para>A good rule of thumb is that if the Windows '95 dialer can set up a
+connection by just clicking the "Connect" button this sample
+configuration should work OK.</para>
+
+<para>If, on the other hand, when you connect to your ISP using Microsoft
+Windows '95 Dial-Up Networking you need to resort to using the "Dial
+Up Scripting Tool" from the Microsoft Plus! pack or you have to select
+"Bring up a terminal windows after dialing" in the Windows '95
+connection options then you'll need to look at the sample PPP
+configuration files and the ppp manpage for examples of "expect /

+<para>If your sole objective in reading this guide is to connect your
+FreeBSD box to the Internet using dial-out ppp you can proceed to
+Section 6, "Testing the Network".</para>
+
+<para>One very attractive feature of the PPP program in on-demand mode is
+its ability to route IP traffic between other systems on the Local
+Area Network automatically. This feature is known by various names,
+"<emphasis>IP Aliasing</emphasis>", "<emphasis>Network Address Translation</emphasis>", "<emphasis>Address
+Masquerading</emphasis>" or "<emphasis>Transparent Proxying</emphasis>".</para>
+
+<para>Regardless of the terminology used, this mode is not, however,
+automatic. If the PPP program is started normally then the program
+will not forward packets between LAN interface(s) and the dial-out
+connection. In effect, only the FreeBSD system is connected to the
+ISP; other workstations cannot "share" the same connection.</para>
+
+<para>For example, if the program is started with either of the following
+command lines:</para>
+
+<para><emphasis remap=tt># ppp interactive (Interactive mode)</emphasis></para>
+
+<para> or</para>
+
+<para><emphasis remap=tt># ppp -auto demand (Dial-on-Demand mode)</emphasis></para>
+
+<para>then the system will function as an Internet-connected workstation
+<emphasis>only</emphasis> for the
+FreeBSD box.</para>
+
+<para>To start the PPP program as a gateway between LAN resources and the
+Internet, one of the following command lines would be used instead:</para>
+
+<para><emphasis remap=tt># ppp -alias interactive (Interactive mode)</emphasis></para>
+
+<para> or</para>
+
+<para><emphasis remap=tt># ppp -auto -alias demand (Dial-on-Demand mode)</emphasis></para>
+
+<para>You can alternatively use the command <emphasis remap=tt>``alias enable yes''</emphasis>
+in your ppp configuration file (refer to the man page for details).</para>

+<title>Starting the DNS Server</title>
+
+<para>By default the DNS server ('<filename>/usr/sbin/named</filename>') is not
+started when the system boots. You can modify this behavior by
+changing a single line in '<filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename>' as follows:</para>
+
+<para> Using the '<emphasis remap=tt>ee</emphasis>' editor, load <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename>. Scroll
+down approximately 40 lines until you come to the section that says:
+<informalexample>
+<screen>---
+named_enable="NO" # Run named, the DNS server (or NO).
+named_flags="-b /etc/namedb/named.boot" # Flags to named (if enabled).
+---</screen>
+</informalexample>
+
+Change this section to read:
+<informalexample>
+<screen>---
+named_enable="YES" # Run named, the DNS server (or NO).
+named_flags="-b /etc/namedb/named.boot" # Flags to named (if enabled).
+---</screen>
+</informalexample>
+
+Save the file and reboot.</para>
+
+<para>Alternatively, start the Name Server daemon by entering the following
+command:
+<informalexample>
+<screen># named -b /etc/namedb/named.boot</screen>
+</informalexample>
+</para>
+
+<para>Whenever you modify any of the files in <filename>/etc/namedb</filename> you'll
+need to kick-start the Name Server process to make it pick up the
+modifications. This is performed with the following system command:
+<informalexample>
+<screen># kill -HUP `cat /var/run/named.pid`</screen>

+<title>Playing with PPP filters</title>
+
+<para>The PPP program has the ability to apply selected filtering rules
+to the traffic it routes. While this is not nearly as secure as a
+formal firewall it does provide some access control as to how the link
+is used.</para>
+
+<para>('<emphasis remap=tt>man ipfw</emphasis>' for information on setting up a more secure
+FreeBSD system.)</para>
+
+<para>The complete documentation for the various filters and rules under
+PPP are availabe in the PPP manpage.</para>
+
+<para>There are four distinct classes of rules which may be applied to
+the PPP program:
+<itemizedlist>
+
+<listitem>
+<para><emphasis remap=tt>afilter</emphasis> - Access Counter (or "Keep Alive") filters
+</para>
+
+<para>These control which events are ignored by the <literal>set timeout=</literal>
+statement in the configuration file.</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para><emphasis remap=tt>dfilter</emphasis> - Dialing filters
+</para>
+
+<para>These filtering rules control which events are ignored by the
+demand-dial mode of PPP.</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para><emphasis remap=tt>ifilter</emphasis> - Input filters
+</para>
+
+<para>Control whether incoming packets should be discarded or passed into
+the system.</para>
+</listitem>
+
+<listitem>
+<para><emphasis remap=tt>ofilter</emphasis> - Output filters
+</para>
+
+<para>Control whether outgoing packets should be discarded or passed into
+the system.</para>
+</listitem>
+
+</itemizedlist>
+</para>
+
+<para>What follows is a snippet from an operating system which provides a
+good foundation for "normal" Internet operations while preventing PPP
+from pumping <emphasis>all</emphasis> data over the dial-up connection. Comments
+briefly describe the logic of each rule set:
