I testing a Ubuntu 13.04 server to act as our gateway for IPv4 and IPv6
and the documentation conflicts about the ufw DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY
setting.  The page on setting up IPv6,
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6#ufw_and_Routing, says to set it as DROP
and the page about setting up MASQ,
https://help.ubuntu.com/13.04/serverguide/firewall.html#ip-masquerading,
says to set it to ACCEPT.  ufw DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY is set in
/etc/default/ufw.  How can I set IPv4 to ACCEPT and IPv6 to DROP?


Thanks,
Chuck
