RE: OSDL Bugzilla #2399: A user can remotely route a packet through eth0 on a Li

Applicable snip of netstat -lnp output:

Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State    
    PID/Program name
tcp        0      0 10.10.10.10:22          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN   
    2836/sshd

No, ip_forward probably doesn't apply, but this is my first bug post so I 
figured I'd better include anything remotely possible :)

Jared,

I can't shake the feeling that the service didn't actually bind to eth1, 
but
instead bound to INADDR_ANY. You can find out with 'netstat -lnp'. Would 
you
mind posting the output?

quoted

A 'cat' or
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
on the Linux laptop was "0" so ip forwarding was not enabled.

I don't think the ip_forward flag applies here.

Jan
