Just enable IP_FORWARD=yes and you can go on ... firewalling is not necessary to do masquerading, but it is done with the same tool, so they are often seen together ... Security Webmaster OKDesign oHG wrote:

Hi folks, I recently installed the new SuSE 6.3 and since then I try to enable masquerading. Unfortunately without effort. In the earlier versions it was enabled and configured with the 4 (or 5) lines in rc.config beginning with MSQ... In this version it seems at it must be enabled and configured within /etc/rc.firewall. I tried many times but I can't get it to work. Maybe masquerading is enabled but the firewall (which must be running, as far as I read out of the readme-file) prevents it from working, or it is still disabled. Can anyone please give me a working configuration ? Or tell me what could be the reason ? If you need more info, e.g. my actual config, I`ll mail it.

Thanks in advance.
