[ILUG] Masquerading with SuSE 6.3

[Alan Sobey]

I have this in /sbin/init.d/boot.local on SuSE6.3 - works fine.  I make no
claims as to the security of it all though :)  Afair, there's nothing
masq-specific in the rc.config (apart from interface configuration
settings).

#####
# Setup up IP_Masqing
#
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp
/sbin/ipchains -M -S 7200 10 160
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.3.0/255.255.255.0 -j MASQ
/sbin/ipchains -I output 1 -i ppp0 -d 255.255.255.255 -j REJECT
/sbin/ipchains -A input -i ppp0
/sbin/ipchains -A output -i ppp0
