It isn't that simple. (It never is, says him.)
Debian uses a file for dragging up interfaces at startup.
And rp_filter is set up by another init script.
*reads the interfaces manpage for clues*
steven@broken:~/ircmap-0.1a$ grep eth0 /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
That, in /etc/network/interfaces (with your other interfaces) will drag them
up at startup.
And then, by using my powers of RTFM, we find this in the man page:
up command
Run command after bringing the interface up. This option can be given
multiple times for a single interface. If so, the commands will be executed
in order. If one of the commands fails, none of the others will be executed,
but the interface will remain configured. (You can ensure a command never
fails by suffixing "|| true".)
Therefore (Gawd, I'll sit down now), you can put this in your eth0 stanza,
for example:
up echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/rp_filter
And similarily for the eth1 stanza. Ohhh, the man page is interfaces(5),
btw.
All together now: Debian's documentation of their own stuff rocks!
