for those upgrading to 2.2...

[Steven Pritchard <steve@silug.org>]

I've recently upgraded a couple of boxes that do masquerading from 2.0
to 2.2.  The biggest change is that now instead of using the ipfwadm
to set up firewall/masquerading rules, you now have to use the
ipchains utility.  The ipchains package does include a script called
ipfwadm-wrapper that is a nearly complete replacement for ipfwadm, but
it seems like an inefficient way to handle things at best.

Anyway, to help anybody out there who is considering upgrading, below
is my script to start firewalling/masquerading, converted to use
ipchains.  Hopefully it will help you get started, at least.
