I finally managed to get my RH 5.2 server to masquerade. Simply by using the
reserved 192.168.1.x addresses. It seems that one must use one of these
ranges and can not 'invent' internal ip addresses. This may seem obvious but
it worked with a non-standard range on the old slackware linux server.
For the information of other RH 5.2 users wanting to set up ip masq; I
followed the IPMASQ-HOWTO and edited the rc.local file to look like below.
This is actually slightly different to the HOWTO suggests.
My /etc/rc.d/rc.local file: (a snippet actaully)
echo "Setting up ip masquerading"
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp.o
echo "Setting up permissions for 192.168.1.0 for mas"
/sbin/ipfwadm -I -f
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -p deny
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
echo "Removing router route"
/sbin/route del default
So far everything seems to work...
