In addition to sysctl, there's lots of stuff you can do with reading or
echoing stuff into the "files" under /proc.

For example, to make a system perform IP forwarding between interfaces, 
you would echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward.

You might stick this command in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99local (similar to 
what you'd do on a Sun).

Unlike Suns, the Linux /proc is *very* useful and has loads of info
on system things (in addition to just processes).
