Re: mc_forwarding
I received no anwsers, it was not the appropriate mailing list for my question ? Hello, I want to enable this option net.ipv4.conf.all.mc_forwarding because I want to forward wake on lan udp packet to my broadcast address. I tried : sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.mc_forwarding=1 error: permission denied on key 'net.ipv4.conf.all.mc_forwarding' Is it possible to achieve what I want ? Other proposals ? Thanks

Re: mc_forwarding
Ok I'll directly see on the website of mrouted to know how to configure it. But a last question for information, I read on the internet that recompiling the kernel with particular options could allow the kernel to manage multicast forwarding is it correct ? If it is correct why was it decided to not add it to the debian linux kernel ?

But you still need the userspace routing daemon to configure it, as it's more complicated than just flicking a switch. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Computers are not intelligent.
