Aliases in NAT mode allows the node admin to create alias names for hosts on the LAN and then use those for creating port forwarding rules. The aliases DO NOT effect the rest of the mesh network and are not propagated via OLSR.
NAT Mode aliases are only usable on the local LAN where the IP addresses are known and routable only on the subnet. Since the NAT hides these IP addresses or the node masquerades, other mesh nodes and devices by definition only know about the node’s hostname. Thus aliases on the LAN in NAT mode are not propagated by OLSR across the mesh. You _CANNOT_ use an alias name in a service listing.
You _will_ be able to set an alternate hostname for any host on the nodes' LAN however.
A host named `CBY45-DELLLAPTOP` can also be known as `wxc-shack-laptop`. It may make remembering which host is which a bit easier.
Since OLSR does not propagate the alias, the "Do Not Propagate" checkbox while in NAT Mode is hidden.
Allows for aliased hostnames on the mesh. One IP/Host can be assigned to multiple hostnames.
This is useful for many things including virtual hosts, virtual machines, virtual email addresses, etc.
The possibilities are actually _endless_.

* secure page
minor ui changes
* center the help icon

groups with custom rules created in /etc/local/mesh-firewall
for echolink, ampr.net, and other integrations with internet
based appications can preserve rules across a firmware
upgrade by locating the custom rules in this directory
using a file named 59-custom-rules
Move httpd.conf to not store password and instead depend on the shadow password file.
Also tag the 40_aredn_migrate-httpdconf script to be +x. Not strictly necessary but wish to have this standard

We don't really need any files in there, and keeping the folder can interfere with the programs that populate /etc/aredn_include on firstboot from uci-default.
This will cause the node to boot up in default mode (with an AP on its interface on the default channels) during its first boot, and than very quickly reboot and come up under the mesh.
