Gateway (Firewall)

[Jarmo Paavilainen]

Hi,

I know that I need a IP forwarding kernel to be able to build a packet
filtering firewall (and thats all I want to do).

So the question is: Is the Kernel from redhat 5.2 enabled to forward
packets?

And how can I tell if a kernel is compiled with the forward enabled?

PS. I tested to compile the kernel (dl the rpm package from redhats site), i
think it was 2.0.36 (isnt it kind of old?), but It did not kompile. It ended
with a make error. Someone solved this? DS.
