[NTLUG:Discuss] Problems settinh up ip spoofing protection

[Kyle_Davenport@compusa.com]

I'm a little surprised that that would affect boot-up.  Look at line 2252 of
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help.
This is a setting of CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER in the kernel.  When you turn on
ip_forwarding:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
you get the rp_filter for ip spoofing.  There are other ways of enabling ip
spoofing tho.
