Package: procps
Version: 1:3.2.8-11
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I have a vpn gateway that periodically sends icmp redirects to the hosts of my
network (when renegociating tunnels), I configured hosts not to accepts
reidrects by uncommenting the default directive found in sysctl.conf:
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects = 0
after reboot here is the config i get in /proc/sys:
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/accept_redirects
0
1
1
1
1
If i try to echo the value in the proc filesystem, It's no better:
root@elronde:/home/alxgomzecho 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/accept_redirects
root@elronde:/home/alxgomz# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/accept_redirects
0
1
1
1
1
Where I expected this to put all interfaces to zero.
the entry ./default/accept_redirects seems to work as expected.
I have seen the same behaviour for other proc entries such as send_redirects
and notices the bug #630650 that is maybe related.

If it is no better then its nothing to do with procps. The only bug you
could report on in procps is sysctl, but using echo bypasses the entire
procps suite and you get the same result.
It might be a kernel bug, or not. It might even be intentional.
It's not a procps bug in any case.
