Hi,
I have a RH 7.3 with 2 ethernet interfaces (eth0,eth1).
This is an ancient unmaintained version with many security holes (and just
plain bugs).
I set ip_forwarding to be 1 at /etc/sysctl.conf
The problem is that after a short period (20-30 min) , ip_forwarding
turned down to 0 again .
When I cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding I see 0 , and the traffic
stops moving from one interface to the other
I have also added a static route to one of the interfaces to reach a
subnet that is lt gateway interface.
That static route is added via " route add -net ..." and not at boot
time . When the ip_forwarding is set to
0 , that static route is removed as well.
It looks like the ip_forwarding is aged somehow.
No, it's not.
Any ideas?
Some proccess on the machine reset the ip_forward and routing tabel entires.
