I agree. That's how you should do it now. I was wondering why and when it changed. It certainly seems more convenient. It strikes me as being similar to Sun's method of having kernel options being run-time modified instead compile-time modified. Is this where things are headed in kernel land? Googling on the topic has not yet turned up what I am looking for. This quest began with the LDP howtos. Could it be that the LDP is falling _way_ behind the kernel development? The PPP HOWTO talks about 1.x and 2.2.x kernels but not 2.4.x. There's no mention of /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward in the doc. -- Mike Mueller 324881 (08/20/2003) Make clockwise circles with your right foot.
