Hello!


[1.] One line summary of the problem:

/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr does not work correctly in debug-mode.


[2.] Full description of the problem/report:

I've recognized that the debug-mode ("2") with
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr does not work correctly. In fact, if I do
a "echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr", nothing happens. There are no
messages in the syslog, and there is no function of ip_dynaddr at all.

If I use "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr", it works fine, of
course without any debugging messages.

So it seems that the "2"-mode (debug output) does not work correctly
with newer kernels (tested with 2.4.21 and 2.4.24)


[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):

network, NAT, masquerading, dynamic ip
