However. I have two machines very similar and one opses and one does not. I wondered why. I've found out that if I turn whole netfilter to module and disable: CONFIG_NET_IPGRE=y CONFIG_IP_MROUTE=y CONFIG_IP_PIMSM_V1=y CONFIG_IP_PIMSM_V2=y
Then problem seems to disappeare on both...
(I do not use iptables on any machine)
