Hi All

I have some problems with ICMP Redirect. I'm using a FreeBSD-4.5-RC machine
as default Rrouter for our network. If i'm doing a ping to an external host,
a ICMP Redirect message is sended by the router-machine, but not only
once... it is sended every time a ICMP echo-request is detected. The Host
doesn't enter the route from the ICMP redirect into his table. With other
Systems (ie RH Linux and CISCO Routers), this will work on this host
correctly.

Is there a posibility to switch on/off the ICMP redirect? How can i
configure, which hosts to redirect?

I saw the configs for sysctrl, but no way to enable or disable the sending
of these packets. Du you have an idea?

net.inet.icmp.drop_redirect = 0
net.inet.icmp.log_redirect = 1

Regards
