I had a sysctl patch I sent to Linus and Alan a while back, but it's not really pre-2.0 critical. I'll probably rework it for 2.1, but the gist of it was:
# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 1 # echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward #
And then IP forwarding was off. (Of course, I forgot to reflect the change in the SNMP and ICMP redirect code, but that's why I'm reworking it....might also be why Linus was ignoring it. =) )
Same deal with the ARP tuning stuff.
