X-Git-Tag: v2.6.20.14~11 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ed7fe6143a808b31a7000a83291b45d9ac95b904;p=karo-tx-linux.git [PATCH] 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.
