Bug Description
I want to have IPv4 forwarding enabled when the PC boots. Googling found a forum thread that says to add this line to /etc/sysctl.conf:
net.ipv4.
The above line works. However, the file contains the following commented-out lines:
# Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv4
#net.ipv4.
The above line does NOT turn IP forwarding on. I suspect (but haven't tested) that every other example line in the file is wrong too.
