Re: Runtime kernel parameters configuration

[Onno <ebbin200@tech.nhl.nl>]

I have contacted to kernel folks.
They will work on /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sysctl/*
right away, /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt
has a delay. Complexity and time is the problem here...

Anyway, you name the kernel versions and I will
make a diff for you of what they broke-out to run-time
configuration. If you realy need it.

Onno
