connections, after SYN packets were seen from both ends. Before this,
it would get applied right after the first SYN packet was seen (either
from client or server). With broken TCP connection attempts, when the
remote end does not respond with SYNACK nor with RST, this resulted in
having a useless (ie, no actual TCP connection associated with it) TCP
link with 86400 seconds TTL, wasting system memory. With high rate of
such broken connection attempts (for example, remote end simply blocks
these connection attempts with ipfw(8) without sending RST back), this
could result in a denial-of-service.

This case was not handled properly when I first fixed this
in revision 1.17.
This change is also required for the upcoming improved PPTP
support patches -- that is how I found the problem.
Before this change:
# natd -v -a aliasIP \
-redirect_port tcp localIP:localPORT publicIP:publicPORT 0:remotePORT
Out [TCP] [TCP] localIP:localPORT -> remoteIP:remotePORT aliased to
[TCP] aliasIP:localPORT -> remoteIP:remotePORT
After this change:
# natd -v -a aliasIP \
-redirect_port tcp localIP:localPORT publicIP:publicPORT 0:remotePORT
Out [TCP] [TCP] localIP:localPORT -> remoteIP:remotePORT aliased to
[TCP] publicIP:publicPORT -> remoteIP:remotePORT
INADDR_NONE: Incoming packets go to the alias address (the default)
INADDR_ANY: Incoming packets are not NAT'd (direct access to the
internal network from outside)
anything else: Incoming packets go to the specified address

the link are equal to the default aliasing address. Do not zero them!
This will fix the problem with non-working links added with the source
and/or aliasing address equal to the default aliasing address, but the
default aliasing address is set later, after the link has been set up,
like both natd(8) and ppp(8) do (for objective reasons).

In the words of originator:
:If an incoming connection is initiated through natd and deny_incoming is
:not set, then a new alias_link structure is created to handle the link.
:If there is nothing listening for the incoming connection, then the kernel
:responds with a RST for the connection. However, this is not processed
:correctly in libalias/alias.c:TcpMonitor{In,Out} and
:libalias/alias_db.c:SetState{In,Out} as it thinks a connection

:If many of these half-connections are initiated (during, for example, a
:port scan of the host), then many thousands of unnecessary links are
:created and the resident size of natd balloons to 20MB or more.

Add bounds checking to netbios NS packet resolving code. This should
prevent natd from crashing on badly formed netbios packets (as might be
heard when the machine is sitting on a cable modem or certain DSL
networks), and also closes potential security holes that might have
exploited the lack of bounds checking in the previous version of the
code.
since there might be permanent entries still left after
calls to DeleteLink (it will be nullified by DeleteLink
if all entries are deleted, won't it ?)
2) in PacketAliasSetAddress, set the aliasing address

Just don't clean up links in this case.
