Bug Description

Binary package hint: procps

Hi,

Please consider turning on rp_filter by default. I appreciate it
doesn't work for people with certain setups (e.g. multi-homed
gateway/routers), but I'd argue that those people are very much in the
minority and that they're kind of people who would/could know they
need to turn off rp_filter. Having it on for the majority of people
who will only gain from it would seem like the right choice.

Please consider reversing this, or at least disabling it in the ike package. Having it enabled breaks the shrew ike vpn client, and it is not at all obvious as to why.
