I've also tried setting it up as a script. Still no luck. Thanks. Curt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Unfortunately bash still complains about permissions. I additionally tried setting real uid to root, but when I run super echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward I still get bash: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward: Permission denied Puzzling. Thanks again.
