Well there are 3 things you could do.
a) The first is to logon as root and issue the command:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_masq_udp_dloose
But if you reboot or masq restarts, your command is gone.
b) You could edit the /etc/rc.local file and add that line to it. But if masq restart because of anything else, the command is gone.
c) You could build a custom template fragment to make it permanent.
To do this do the following:
mkdir /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq
(this is to build a home for custom template)
cd /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq
(this is where the source template is)
cp 30SourceAddressVerification /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq/30SourceAddressVerification
(move the original template to the custom template area)
cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq
(move to the custom template area)
vi 30SourceAddressVerification
(edit the custom template - you can also use pico instead of vi)
Now add the line echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_masq_udp_dloose
after the other echo commands in that fragment.
Now build the template by issuing the command:
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/rc.d/init.d/masq
Now restart masq
/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq restart
