Description impulze 2008-06-29 22:21:23 UTC

see summary :p

appearently the procps version of sysctl doesn't complain if used wrong but still..

line 28 and 56:
  sysctl "${SYSCTL_FORWARD}=1" >/dev/null
should be
  sysctl -w "${SYSCTL_FORWARD}=1" >/dev/null

line 46:
  sysctl "${SYSCTL_FORWARD}=0"
should be
  sysctl -w "${SYSCTL_FORWARD}=0"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
activate forwarding in /etc/conf.d/radvd and invoke /etc/init.d/radvd start on a busybox system for example

Actual Results:  
sysctl won't update the forwarding entry because it is used wrong
