I also have found myself moving over to Free- and
OpenBSD for most
workstation and server needs, but I keep an install of Mandrake handy
for those few apps that don't port to well over to the BSD platforms.
What I'm really interested in is stund support in OpenBSD that
integrated w/ pf, seeing as how the majority of my firewalls are now
OpenBSD 3.1-3.2 boxes running the new pf code. Ser itself runs great on
FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE, which is what I use as my testing platform, but
this NAT stuff is really killing me when it comes to bringing in
potential callers over the WAN. Any word on when a *BSD-compatible
binary of stund might be available? Thanks.

You're in the same boat as I am. I'm already on OpenBSD, and
kludging the NAT workarounds really is uncomfortable using Linux as a
host for running only stund.
Of course, I'd really just like Cisco's NAT re-writing to
automatically work, since all I'm using are Cisco UA's (ATA-186.)
They claim that if the server can send "received=" in the Via
headers, their systems will automatically forget and re-write the
request with the 'correct' IP address, however in practice I have not
been able to make that work, and I have heard of nobody who is more
clueful than I am being able to make it work, either. (see the
"Receiver-tagged VIA header" section in the document
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/ata/atarn/186rn214.ht…
- note that this is for release 2.14, and I'm running 2.15, but I
would be surprised if they removed functionality.)
I am very interested in Maxim's port of stund to FreeBSD, though. I
could not get it working using the stund I found on Vovida's page
(http://www.vovida.org/downloads/stun/stund_0.7.tgz) and the patch
failed. Patching by hand did not solve the makefile problems.
Before I invest any more time: is this the right source to be
patching against?
