Hi could somebody please explain sysctl to me.  I've read the manpage, but
that's not very informative.

I believe that it comes in the initscripts rpms, and the new versions
disable the IPV4 stuff from the /etc/sysconfig/network file and refer you
to /etc/sysctl.conf, but no matter what changes I make to /etc/sysctl.conf
nothing occurs on boot by default.  Either I have to run /sbin/sysctl -w
sysctl.conf in the /etc/rc.d/rc.local, or I have to do something
equivalent, but I can't get them to start up automagically without that.

Is this the standard way to do it now?  I seem to remember a nice "Enabling
IPV4  [OK]" on startup before... is that a thing of the past?

Thanks.

Lee Howard
