To turn on ip forwarding I've been using... echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward Since that's going to the proc filesystem do I have to be careful about where in the initialization I do this (make sure that proc is mounted first)? Is there a better way to tell the system to turn ip forwarding on? Thanks, Ben.
