The init script requires two variables to be defined:
* START=/path/to/config
  This config file is used when running 'service overcommit start'
* STOP=/path/to/config
  This config file is used when running 'service overcommit stop'

The START and STOP variables may be defined in /etc/sysconfig/overcommit.
If that file does not exist, the init script defaults to using:
* START=/etc/overcommit/never-overcommit.conf
* STOP=/etc/overcommit/default-overcommit.conf

The above semantics mean that you should never
modify a file provided by this package. This keeps
the output of `rpm --verify overcommit' clean.

This package includes three policies:
* /etc/overcommit/default-overcommit.conf
* /etc/overcommit/always-overcommit.conf
* /etc/overcommit/never-overcommit.conf

The third policy, never-overcommit.conf, sets
the policy + 90% of physical RAM.

To set a different amount of physical ram, you should: 
1. copy never-overcommit.conf and modify as needed
2. create /etc/sysconfig/overcommit and adjust the STOP variable
