Thank you for the clarification about setting GATEWAY
(packet forwarding) in systl.conf and rc.conf.

The handbook suggested that "Over five hundred system
variables can be read and set using sysctl(8)" ...

Any clue as to where I can see those "over five
hundred system variables"? ... just being curious ...

Also, is this sysctl.conf a unique feature of FreeBSD
or a feature of nay *NIX O/S?

Kind regards,

Yance
