Following up to myself, here's a couple of patches to Linux 2.1.77,
which hopefully align the sysctl values to those of 2.0. This patch is
likely to break any program that uses sysctl and has been compiled for
2.1. I still believe this (+- some bugs left) should be in 2.2.
No effort has been taking to give those sysctls which lost their
meaning during 2.1 some reasonable implementation. Most notably,
NET_IPV4_FORWARD can probably implemented on top of
NET_IPV4_FORWARDING. One exception: NET_IPV4_DYNADDR is apparently
the same as NET_IPV4_IP_DYNADDR.
Please review,
Martin
