I can ssh into the box using eth0's ip but for some > reason i can also ssh in using eth1's ip even thou that nic is not pluged into > the lan. If i plug eth1 into the lan i cannot get into the box using either ip. > Anyone had this before?? if the route for the eth1 NIC IP points to or through the eth0 NIC IP, then this is a logical feature of the TCP/IP stack implementation in linux, which will cause the packet to be accepted without a specific need for ip_forward. so: no problem here, this is proper behaviour. -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; net@madduck a life? where can i download that?
