One can do `echo "0 0 0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/rcp_rmem` because he simply wants, let's say, disable the kernel to have the ability to reply to TCP packets.
No, he should use firewalling for this task, which we support very nicely.
He can use firewalling, yes, but if it's not supposed to the kernel to accept "0 0 0" then people shouldn't be able to select those settings, and if it's supposed for people to have the abillity to change those settings (including "0 0 0", which I think is good), then it's completely obvious that users will expect the kernel to acomplish to those settings and not simply crash.
