retitle 517833 better document net.ipv?.conf.all.* interface severity 517833 wishlist thanks also sprach Moritz Muehlenhoff <jmm@inutil.org> [2009.08.13.2349 +0200]: > This has been explained in the link above to work as excepted, > closing the bug. I think sysctl should adequately document this. The situation is quite a mess I think (it's extremely inconsistent), and it would be best to fix it up, but given that that's unlikely to happen anytime soon, adequate documentation is necessary. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems i wish this wish not to be granted! -- achilles (hofstadter's geb)
