(woody) ip_forward from "1" to "0" after an arp spoof
Hi all,
I noticed this strange (?) behaviour:
i'm the admin of a debian woody workstation used by many clients as a
gateway to another network. Of course I have the ip_forward set to "1"
and everything go ok.
I tried to arp spoof a host with ettercap and suddenly all the clients
were disconnected. I checked ip_forward and it was "0"!
I tried another time during the normal packet forwarding and it
happened again. So the ip_forward switch from 1 to 0 when you try to do
arp spoofing. How can it be possible?
Thanks in advance
regards,
