ip_always_defrag

[George Karaolides <george@karaolides.com>]

Hi,

I have a strange situation on my main gateway (firewall + masquerade
using the ipmasq package on Debian 2.2r3 potato).

The command

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_always_defrag

returns an integer which seems to vary all the time.

I would like to set this (to 1) for security reasons, but seem to be
unable to do so because of this.

Any ideas, anyone?
