Yup, I did that. I also tried the following:
FORWARD_IPV4=yes (this is what RH Control Panel changes it to)
FORWARD_IPV4="yes" (This is what Linuxconf changes it to!)
Nothing seems to work. I have the echo command (echo 1 >
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward) in /etc/rc.local, but it seems like a hack to
me. Seems like there should be a better way!
FWIW, I tried alerting Redhat to this as an "installation issue". No help
from them yet - they're probably still counting their cash from the IPO.
<grin>
