I found that last week. Not through Google mind you (that was fun). This option also goes back before 7.3.... >The /etc/sysconfig/* scripts are documented: > >/usr/share/docs/initscripts*/sysconfig.txt 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?
