Subject:        Re: [masq] do i need to recompile kernal?

No need to recompile if using the stock kernel from 5.0 (2.0.32). But...

[root@firewall /root]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=yes
HOSTNAME=firewall.internal.bgcorp.com
DOMAINNAME=internal.bgcorp.com
# GATEWAY=
# GATEWAYDEV=
[root@firewall /root]#

That second line is set to "no" by default.  What happens is that forwarding
(which is used by masq) is built into the kernel but _by default in RedHat's
distribution_ is then turned off by this setup script.  By changing this line
forwarding will be turned on when you reboot.  Check the status by:

[root@firewall /root]# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
1
[root@firewall /root]#

If you get a "0" then forwarding has been turned off.You can turn it on
without rebooting by doing 

cat "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

and forwarding (and therefore masq) should work.  I think there is a good
reason to update from 2.0.31 to 2.0.32, but masq should work on either one.
