X-Git-Tag: v2.6.22-rc2~9^2~1 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d739437207064cdcea8f9c81442284106cbcb67f;p=linux-2.6 [IPV4]: Correct rp_filter help text. As mentioned in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5015 The helptext implies that this is on by default. This may be true on some distros (Fedora/RHEL have it enabled in /etc/sysctl.conf), but the kernel defaults to it off. Signed-off-by: Dave Jones Signed-off-by: David S.
