hi David
there is no ip_forward file/pointer there.
However, its in the kernel, :
[root@gateway /root]# cat /proc/ksyms | grep ip_forward
00147c40 ip_forward_Rb2273aca
If I do this:
[root@gateway net]# cat /proc/net/ip_forward
IP firewall forward rules, default 0
There is all the routing info below the IP Firewall line - but security...
Why does it not all of a sudden forward?
This is running 4.1 redhat as we had the same problem with 5.0 (REd Hat Inc.
is looking into this as I know a few people have had problems with 5.0 after
upgrading glibc libraries (we think)).
What could have changed or does the above indicate that IP forwarding is infact
off (note the default 0)
