Subject: Correct rp_filter help text.
Date: Thu, 17 May 2007 17:58:19 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070517215819.GA8580@redhat.com> (raw)

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.
