As root, you can use the inconfig(ADMN) command to change the global default TCP/IP configuration values.
For example, to enable forwarding of IP
packets, you would enter:
inconfig ipforwarding 1
inconfig updates the values of the parameters defined in /etc/default/inet and those in use by the currently executing kernel. You do not need to reboot your system for these changes to take effect; inconfig dynamically updates the kernel with the changes you specify. Before doing so, it verifies that the values you input are valid. If they are not, the current values of the parameters are retained.
See
``TCP/IP parameters''
for a description of the TCP/IP parameters that you can
tune using inconfig.
