From dd6acf7c430f6819584651dc5c8de1958300c67d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2014 11:01:11 +0200 Subject: src: PF_BIND/UNBIND is ignored in 3.8 and later There is confusion on what this command actually does and why examples commonly PF_UNBIND at startup. Since these are obsolete document that its not needed starting with Linux 3.8.
