Agreed.

Toke, wouldn't it be better instead of your patch:

  1. to follow Dave's suggestion by default;

  2. to add a new config file option that doesn't set any sysctls
     unconditionally?

I'm also dubious about the command-line option -- shouldn't this be just
a config file directive, which is usable with -C?
