[ale] Routing

[Stephen J. Pellicer]

If you are referring to RedHat 7.0 I believe the newer redhat alikes (I know
in RedHat 7.1) the easiest way to stop ip forwarding on bootup is add:
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
to the file /etc/sysctl.conf
See if that file is on the system. If it is, chances are rc.sysinit calls:
sysctl -e -p /etc/sysctl.conf
to read this file and set kernel parameters.

Hope that helps.

Stephen

 Ok thanks that did stop the ip_forwarding.  I just install Linux 7.0 and am
new to the Linux world.  Can you tell me how I can put this in a script to
turn off ip_forwarding everytime is reboots.

Also who can I get telnet to work to my new linux box?

Thanks

If you mean ip forwarding...

echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
