Hello, As a follow up on my post about portforwarding to 127.0.0.1 and the 'martian destination 127.0.0.1' message I can tell I found the probable cause in /usr/src/linux/net/ipv4/route.c. A patch here could filter out the martian messages if a packet is related to sshd (in my case). Does anyone know if such a patch/solution exist already? Maybe there's a better way? Please post. Kind regards, Udo __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos: High-quality 4x6 digital prints for 25¢ http://photos.yahoo.com/ph/print_splash
