Redhat 9 and IP_Forward

Hi all
Is the Redhat 9 kernel compiled (binary distribution) with IP_FORWARD
enabled or disabled? I cant seem to get ip forwarding to work on Redhat 9
but had no trouble under 6 and 7, the only thing that I can think of is that
its not enabled in the kernel.

Thanks

Stew

Edit /etc/sysctl.conf and set net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1.
