>Environment:

	/usr mounted via nfs

>Description:

	sysctl is used in /etc/netstart to enable ip forwarding,
	but since it exists in the /usr partition, it may not be
	present at before /usr has been mounted, if /usr is
	mounted over nfs.

>How-To-Repeat:

	/usr mounted via nfs
	Enable gateway=YES in /etc/sysconfig

>Fix:
	
	1) sysctl needs to be moved to /sbin and compiled -static
	2) enabling ip forwarding should be delayed until after
	   nfs mounts have been completed.
