No, just put it *inside* of your firewall script. You don't want to forward unless you have firewall rules up. When you reconfigering scripts, sometime you may have forwarding enabled, but the firewall disabled. :( Instead put the forward line at the end of your firewall script. -----Original Message----- From: Rob Hudson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 12:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [EUG-LUG:2282] RE: masquerading on linux Ok. Not sure if those is the best way, but I created a 'ipforward' script in /etc/init.d. start echoes a 1 stop echoes a 0 Then on rc3.d (default for redhat) made a symlink to it just after the network script. -Rob > On 20010816.1150, Justin Bengtson said ... > > i have that line in my firewall script. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Rob Hudson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 11:49 AM > To: EUGLUG > Subject: [EUG-LUG:2280] masquerading on linux > > > Where is a good place to stick this on a gateway machine: > > echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward > > so that it gets loaded automatically upon booting up?
