sysctl.conf?

Hello all,

I'm hoping this is a nice easy one for an experienced Slitaz user

So, I'm running Slitaz 4.0 but there is no /etc/sysctl.conf.  Is there an equivalent?  I'm looking for the config file where I can enable IPv6 privacy extensions, turn on tcp syn cookies, modify time wait value or change the number of syn retries (etc).

If this isn't done through /etc/sysctl.conf, where do I do it?

Thanks,

Ginja

Hi.

It seems there is no sysctl.conf in SLiTaz.

You can ceate your own conf file in etc to give your settings to the kernel.

thanks for the hint!

Not sure if this is the besy way to do it, but here's what I did:

1) created /etc/sysctl.conf and added the stuff i wanted to that

2) edited /etc/init.d/local.sh to include the line 'sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf'

3) reboot

4) Now, any changes I make to /etc/sysctl.conf are picked up at boot (like changes to TCP settings etc)

Awesomeness!

What a great distro!

Now, if only there were a 64 bit version....

Nice trick that. Maybe we should implement it into the distro

Adding to the next release would be sheer class
