last time i asked this question, someone (paul robertson) was kind enough
to tell me how to reject source-routed packets in linux 2.0 kernels.
there doesn't seem to be a corresponding kernel parameter in 2.2 (at
least, not in my 2.2.5). does anyone know how to control this in the
kernel config stage?
i notice there are files
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/{all,default,eth0,lo}/accept_source_route ,
which the doco suggests control the acceptability of source routed packets
(d'oh). however, the doco doesn't say whether the 'all' setting overrides
the individual interface settings, or vice-versa. can anyone shed any
light on this?
many thanks.
