Re: [FW1] Solaris routing concern

[Nico De Ranter <nico@FW1-NOSPAMsonycom.com>]

Try

  ndd -get /dev/ip ip_forwarding

if the result is 0 ip-forwarding is turned off. Do

  ndd -set /dev/ip ip_forwarding 1

to turn it on.
I believe the value of the switch depends on /etc/gateways at startup, but I'm
not sure of the syntax of that file. I just added a line to the end of /etc/init.d/inetinit
to force ip-forwarding.
