Merge pull request #776 from exoscale/fix/firewall-sysctl
sysctl: don't modify /etc/sysctl.confTo configure firewall rules, CloudStack
modifies `/etc/sysctl.conf` and
execute those modifications. This may be harmful for several reasons:
1. `/etc/sysctl.conf` may be managed by some configuration management
system. Such a system will constantly restore the previous version.
2. `/etc/sysctl.conf` may contain additional properties that have been
changed later by some system administrator (for example, once a
firewall has been configured, forwarding may have been activated
while it is disabled in `/etc/sysctl.conf`). Executing the file
again at a later time may disrupt the system.
3. Entries are added again and again. `/etc/sysctl.conf` will contain
the same directives repeated several times.
Using a configuration file is not needed as `sysctl` is able to directly
modify sysctl values with `-w` flag.
