I found that last week. Not through Google mind you (that was fun). This
option also goes back before 7.3....

That covers some stuff but not all.

DHCPDARGS?
SLAPD_OPTIONS? (format of /etc/sysconfig/ldap anyone?)

Things like ip_local_port_range being set to 32768 to 61000, is that
actually documented somewhere?

Oh there it is, sort of, in
/usr/share/doc/kernel-docs-2.4.18/networking/ip-sysctl.conf, doesn't say
that it's compiled in though, or where to set it different (apart from
hacking your networking startup script yourself). Assuming you have
kernel-doc installed (if you don't, it's mentioned nowhere!). Kind of
important if you're used to every single other major OS which typically does
the 1024-5000 thing (1025, 4999, whatever). Which redhat will also do if you
have less then 128 megs apperently.

Lots more. In a way it's nice, it drives traffic to my site (~2 dozen people
a day alone for the port 32768 thing) and I get thankful emails. In a way
it's annoying cause if redhat documented it clearly somewhere I wouldn't
have to. And it would save customers some grief.

Why does documentation always get ignored?
