** Description changed: With Ubuntu Server 7.10, on a system with 6 NICs, /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf ends up with only "all default eth0 eth1 eth2 eth3 lo", while /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf ends up (correctly) with "all default eth0 eth1 eth2 eth3 eth4 eth5 lo". This may or may not be related to a failure of netfilter SNAT to work with the external interfaces on eth4 and eth5, despite that it is ipv4. I've only noticed this because it's a very strange SNAT failure (an - older Ubuntu box with identical Netfilter rules &c. works fine with + older Gentoo box with identical Netfilter rules &c. works fine with SNAT), and this is the only odd thing about the system so far. BTW, what's the right way to get this to populate? + + UPDATE: The ipv6 stuff was related to the SNAT failure. In + /etc/modprobe.d/arch/i386 I added "alias net-pf-10 off" to stop the ipv6 + module from loading, rebooted, and now SNAT works. Whether that problem + is specifically from the failure to populate /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf + fully, or some other bug in the Ubuntu/ipv6/Netfilter combination, I + can't confirm.
