I imagine I > have a config missing somewhere. on my debian lenny system here, /etc/sysctl.conf is initially read by /etc/init.d/procps from the procps package during system initialization (linked from /etc/rcS.d/S30procps). lenny uses traditional sysvinit, though -- i think edubuntu is using upstart now, so maybe it does something differently? or maybe yer distro migrations broke your initscripts somehow? If a stock edubuntu install were to not initialize /proc/sys from /etc/sysctl.conf, that would be a serious bug worth reporting. --dkg PS no need to CC me, i read the list.
