That's one of the reasons why I prefer to compile from source whenever 
posible and do a "make install 2>&1 | tee
/var/adm/packages/nameofpackage".  That way I know exactly which files 
the package has installed.  Of course, that doesn't work for
binary-only packages, but I avoid using those anyway... I don't think
I have any on my system except SO.  Wil scrap that too once Koffice is 
ready.

Uh, scrap that old ipfwadm-lookalike and use the following:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -i ppp0 -j MASQ
