X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16.53-rc1~13 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0b5660372af4d953244bc30f4539cf35920fd893;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git [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.
