I've got some issue with gentoo rc-status (currently using sys-apps/openrc-0.45.2-r1 but it was happening long time before this version). From time to time some of machines are loosing ip_forwarding. I've narrowed it to running rc-status right now.
# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward; rc-status; cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

What could be possible reason behind this logic of this tricky changing of ip_forwarding state?
Also this happens from time to time. I need to wait a couple of days / weeks before another rc-status takes down ip_forwarding.
Key difference here is that Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] does not appear when ip_forwarding is not touched.
