RE: [CentOS] /etc/sysctl.conf edit not permanent

What exactly did you add to /etc/sysctl.conf?

Do you have any errors when you run "sysctl -p" on the command line as root?

Hi, I added the following to /etc/sysctl.conf: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 sysctl -p does not show any errors.

So after a #service network restart, I see this: Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ] Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ] Disabling IPv4 packet forwarding: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0 [ OK ] Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth1: Determining IP information for eth1... done.

But a sysctl -p shows the right info after? Is this behavior normal?

Thanks! jlc
