[Bug 595971] Re: procps needs 'sysctl net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct=1'

[Tim Gardner]

SRU Justification (module_init_tools):

Impact: Future kernels will not preserve the existing behavior with
respect to netfilter connection tracking.

Patch Description: Add a module parameter to enable netfilter connection
tracking.

Patch: see attached.
