Some help with broadcasts through a Linux system

[Richard Sharpe]

Hi again,

OK, what I did not make clear was that I was trying to use directed
broadcasts, not the local broadcasts address (255.255.255.255).

That is, in the context of the following diagram:


     172.30.0.0/24               16.153.112.0/24
   --------------------[Linux]---------------------

If from 172.30.0.120 I ping 16.153.112.255, I would expect to see the
broadcast on the other interface.

Linux seems to be stoping it, and I cannot find a switch to prevent it from
stopping it.

This is screwing up my attempts to test out 'remote announce' in Samba.
