Please send replies to me as I do not have time to check this list as 
often as I would like...

I just cvsup'ed to 4.8 stable branch and making changes.  I recentlyl 
found this mod for sysctl.conf:

net.inet.tcp.blackhole=2
net.inet.udp.blackhole=1
kern.ps_showallprocs=0

So I added these three lines.

1) Can someone email me the URL to where in the manual covers all my 
options in regards to adding kernel values to sysctl.conf? or otherwise 
a URL to some guru's page that discusses sysctl.conf?

2) Do I have to reboot or restart a process after modifying sysctl.conf?

Though I have been BSD'ing it for many many years, I never seem to run 
out of newbie sounding questions!  Thanks as always. FBSD rules.  'nuff 
said.
