I did not mean it is RedHat specific, I wanted to say it is the way RedHat
does this. I bet there are other Linux distros and *nix-es that have sysctl.
If you just 'echo 1 > /proc....' and then 'service network restart' redhat
scripts will override your seting... that's what I wanted to say... but seems
i did not do it clear :) Sorry for my English...
10xz for correcting me.
