Guest genepool Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Please help me try to solve a problem that I can't seem to find an answer for. I have been trying to stop the kernel from logging martian source packets by changing the /etc/sysctl.conf file to have net.ipv4.conf.all.log_martians = 0 but everytime I restart the network (or reboot) the sysctl.conf file reverts to it's unedited condition. How can I stop martian source packets from being logged and what script is changing the sysctl.conf file? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 It shouldn't be doing that. What I tend to do is edit /etc/sysctl.conf and then I run: sysctl -p and it will activate the settings you've just put in /etc/sysctl.conf. You shouldn't need to restart the network for it. Try what I've said, and then check that your martian parameter is set correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
