The easiest examples being anything that uses the /conf/default/ in the network setup and not /conf/all/ and anything that needs to be there before the interfaces are brought online.
There will be a small but definite gap between when an interface is brought up and when the parameters are applied. Some of those parameters are security related and so there is a problem right there. While IPv6 is a release goal, having sysctl handle the fact the module is not there first is not. There are ways to have the ipv6 module load late and to have kernel parameters setup in it. - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 http://www.enc.com.au/ csmall at : enc.com.au http://www.debian.org/ Debian GNU/Linux, software should be Free -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
