Just to clarify, you need to reboot for /etc/sysctl.conf to take effect, right?

I thought /etc/sysctl.conf was the way to go for persistent changes.

I vaguely recall that /etc/sysctl.conf is the way to make changes permanent, but I can't remember the exact syntax we used.

I remember that modifying /proc is for immediate changes, but I'm not sure if it persists after a reboot.
