Description of problem: redhat-config-network does let me define several network interfaces and routes. Only "little" problem is that if to reboot the box the routes and interfaces are defined, but routing is disabled (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward content is 0). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-network-1.3.10-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add couple of LAN cards to the system; 2. Configure these with redhat-config-network; 3. Reboot the box; Actual results: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward content is 0 and routing is disabled. Expected results: Either let me choose explisitly to "enable routing" in redhat-config-network or do it by default when different networks/routes are defined. Additional info: I asked help from Fedora list and it seems that routing enabling has never been a simple task and "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" in /etc/rc.d/rc.local is standard practice.
system-config-network should write to sysctl.conf and on apply/exit should run "sysctl -p", don't use echo 1 > ...
