It's far easier to modify /etc/sysctl.conf and run sysctl -p to read in the new values than rebuild a new kernel and reboot. Using the sysctl mechanism you don't even have any downtime. If you want to have this set up for new installs, simply use sed/awk in a %post script for a kickstart file and you can do whatever you want. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
