Hi there,

Is it just me or did something weird happen to the /proc structure regarding ip_forward :?:

After an update /etc/init.d/iptables contained the line

Code:

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/forwarding

instead of the usual

Code:

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

which resulted in a non-working NAT-setup.

How can this kind of "breaking changes" happen overnight and why :?:

It is certainly a Bad Thing (tm) to introduce silent updates like this :!:

(Of course the fix is to just ad the second line to the init script, and the same for switching off)
