Note the spelling. You have to spell it like Linux does, 'ip_forward'.
There was a typo in the suggestion you tried. You've probably figured this
out by now, but:
With RedHat, the built-in way to do this (write a '1' into ip_forward so as
to enable it) is by configuring your /etc/sysconfig/network file, the line
'FORWARD_IPV4='. That makes the echo take place during the network bootup
process. On a normall RH install, that line says 'no', which writes a zero
to disable it.
You can set this in a GUI using the Network Configurator in the RedHat
Control Panel. The Routing section (on RH5.1 at least) has a check box for
IPv4 forwarding.
Or, you can do it yourself in your script, or manually for testing.
