In SunOS 4.1.1:
There is a variable called ip_forwarding residing in /usr/kvm/sys/netinet/in_proto.c. This variable is defined by
IPFORWARDING definition.
This variable has 3 settings:
/*
* ip_forwarding controls whether or not to forward packets:
* ip_forwarding == -1 -- never forward; never change this value.
* ip_forwarding == 0 -- don't forward; set this value to 1 when two
* interfaces are up.
* ip_forwarding == 1 -- always forward.
*/
(comments from in_proto.c)
0 is the default.
I changed the value to -1 and rebuilt the kernel.
It worked........ and there was much rejoicing.
Thanks for all the input!
ps: Some responses advised setting ip_forwarding to 0.
Was this the case in older rev's of SunOS ?
