I prefer changing something in /etc/sysctl.conf because it's clearly where this kind of configuration change belongs. Changing ifcfg-eth0 may or may not work at the moment -- I'm guessing it probably does -- but it's a kludge that depends on the functioning of a specific script which in some future version could change. It's a judgment call based on many years experience of messing with systems and having the floor move under my feet :-) poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
