Thank you Nalin,
I had two entries of net.ipv4.ip_forward. Removing one of them solved
the promlem. One was placed there by myself and and one by
initscripts. Perhaps netcfg should be able to parse two entries and
give out a warning if duplicates are found.
cat /etc/sysctl.conf:
# Disables packet forwarding
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
# Enables source route verification
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
# Disables automatic defragmentation (needed for masquerading, LVS)
net.ipv4.ip_always_defrag = 0
# added by initscripts install on Sun Jan 2 11:39:19 CET 2000
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
A few questions on kernel-2.4:
1. How to set up equivalent rules as for ipchains in v2.2.x?
ipchains -P forward DENY, etc
2. What about modules for masquerading:
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp, etc
3. ppp: These are described in sufficiently
/usr/src/linux-2.4.0/Documentation/Changes. Depending on which kernel
I use can /etc/modules.conf be made sensitive to kernel version, eg?
#if kernel== 2.4.x
alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async
alias tty-ldisc-14 ppp_synctty
alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
alias /dev/ppp ppp_generic
#endif
Other solutions? Two conf.modules files, etc
4. How do I know if devfs is enabled. If not how to enable it?
