"/usr/lib/sysctl.d/" is systemd specific. Dropping files there won't do anything unless you run the systemd-sysctl service. "/etc/sysctl.d/" used to be owned by procps, and will still be used by /etc/init.d/procps whether or not you run systemd-sysctl. I don't think anyone wants another systemd thread, so I suggest you all keep the systemd examples to a minimum. It's a bloody mess. Bjørn
