Package: ferm Version: 2.0.3-1 Severity: important Hi,
I have hook pre "echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"; hook post "echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"; in my /e/f/ferm.conf, however ip forwarding is only enabled if I touch the config file prior to execution of /e/i/ferm start: $ sudo /etc/init.d/ferm reload Reloading Firewall configuration......done. $ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 0 $ sudo touch /etc/ferm/ferm.conf $ sudo /etc/init.d/ferm reload Reloading Firewall configuration......echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward done. $ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 1 This problem could be related to #548579, this is my /etc/default/ferm FAST=yes CACHE=yes OPTIONS= ENABLED=yes and the cached script lacks an echo 1 > ... /var/cache/ferm/start.sh: echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward /sbin/iptables-restore <<EOT ...
