can anyone confirm that RH7.3 honors the noarp flag?

/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/hidden doesn't exist on the latest 7.3 kernel (2.4.20-28.7smp). However, there is LVS support in the stock kernel:

[root@here ~]# ls /lib/modules/2.4.18-3smp/kernel/net/ipv4/ipvs
ip_vs_dh.o   ip_vs_lblc.o   ip_vs_lc.o  ip_vs_rr.o  ip_vs_wlc.o
ip_vs_ftp.o  ip_vs_lblcr.o  ip_vs.o     ip_vs_sh.o  ip_vs_wrr.o

Booting the stock kernel doesn't show the proc entry either.

HOWEVER, putting 'ARP=no' in my eth0 conf on the stock kernel brought the interface up with NOARP enabled.

Looking at the source for ifup, it does:

`ip link set eth0 arp off`

Running that command on a newer kernel sets NOARP on the interface.

Long story short: RedHat 7.3 has support for NOARP and ARP=no in the conf file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts) works.

Now, does that ip command work on newer versions of redhat?
