I added it to the script but have not rebooted. Here's what I get when I
run the command manually:
[root@server /root]# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding
bash: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding: Permission denied
[root@server /root]# ll /proc/sys/net/ipv4/
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 20 04:56 .
dr-xr-xr-x 7 root root 0 Dec 20 04:56 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 20 04:56
arp_check_interval
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 20 04:56
arp_confirm_interval
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 20 04:56

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 20 04:56 arp_dead_res_time
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 20 04:56 arp_max_tries

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 20 04:56 arp_timeout
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 20 04:56 ip_dynaddr
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 20 04:56 ip_forward
The file is there, although I did not create it. Is the simple presence
of the file sufficient, or is the content also critical? If the content
is not critical, then do I need this step?
