If it is any help to the developers, I'm running several gentoo servers |
| 2 |
which require ipv4 forwarding and I have been setting forwarding=1 through |
| 3 |
sysctl.conf without any problem whatsoever. When I first noticed this |
| 4 |
message, I thought that maybe something was broken with sysctl.conf and |
| 5 |
that users were being instructed to used echo 1 > .../forwarding. But I |
| 6 |
convinced myself there was no problem with the boot scripts and sysctl, |
| 7 |
and indeed, there doesn't seem to be. |
