https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=233281 Bug ID: 233281 Summary: IP forwarding clarification in rc.conf man-page Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: peo_s@incedo.org Hi I am new to FreeBSD but have used BSD since 20 years back… In the man-page for rc.conf I can see… —snip-- ipv6_gateway_enable (bool) The IPv6 equivalent of gateway_enable. —snip— and… —snip-- gateway_enable (bool) If set to "YES", configure host to act as an IP router, e.g. to forward packets between interfaces. —snip— If this is equal to set net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1 in sysctl.conf it would for clarification be a good thing to mention in the man-page for rc.conf that this is an alternate way of setting this sysctl setting. A simple small parentesis containing "Equal to set net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1 in sysctl.conf" would be good. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
