Hi Jorge, I think that you can also use the same style as fedora. see /etc/init.d/boot.sysctl Basically, boot.sysctl execs `sysctl -e -p /etc/sysconfig/sysctl` (man sysctl) Shell environment value such as IP_TCP_SYNCOOKIES in /etc/sysconfig/sysctl are handled by other boot up scripts such as /etc/init.d/boot.ipconfig Thanks, -- Kazutomo Yoshii http://powercockpit.net/hacking/ Jorge � wrote:
Hello everyone,
I use Fedora in my work laptop and SuSE at home :)
I sent to my email my Fedora's sysctl.conf with contains the values for many network-related kernel parameters. I was just going to append the contents of it to SuSE's /etc/sysconfig/sysctl but after a close inspection I see that the syntax in there is quite different.
For example, in Fedora's sysctl.conf, in order to enable syn flood protection I'll have:
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
On SuSE it's:
IP_TCP_SYNCOOKIES="yes"
Fedora's way is more intuitive since it reflects the /proc tree. I din't find much information on the sysctl man page (on SuSE). Any one?
Thanks in advance, Jorge
