I need some help with setting up a firewall for a router. Basically, I
just want to set it up to forward packets on to other machines on the
network. I read the manpage for ipfwadm, and it looks like ipfwadm -F -p
deny is where I want to begin. Setting the default rule to deny. Problem
is, when I do this, I get this error:
ipfwadm:setsockopt failed: Invalid arguement
I've also noticed I don't have a /proc/net/ip-forward, which could be a
big problem. I've got masquerading compiled into the kernel, but I could
find no option that talked about forwarding. The 2.0.x kernels had this
as a specific option, but the 2.2.x kernels don't appear to. Can someone
give me some hints or nudges in the right direction?
