I would if I could!

sudo echo 7 > /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI
-bash: /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI: Permission denied

sudo chmod 644 /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI
$ sudo echo 7 > /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI
-bash: /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI: Permission denied

$ ls -l /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Jan 18 14:41 /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI

$ sudo chattr -i /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI
chattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device while reading flags on 
/proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI

$ lsattr /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI
lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on 
/proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI

$ sudo /usr/sbin/getenforce
Permissive


That puts me out of ideas.  Is there an equivalent of sysctl for 
parameters not under /proc/sys?
