>Description:
The installers put in place a sysctl.conf file that does
nothing, but which contains a $FreeBSD$ header. This results
in a no-op file serves only to create noise when mergemaster
is run on a system that actually uses sysctl.conf to override
default settings. Since the distribution will never use
this file to set system defaults, the $FreeBSD$ header is
pointless.
As with /etc/rc.local, this file should not be present
unless explicitly created by the system administrator.
>How-To-Repeat:
n/a
>Fix:
Remove /etc/sysctl.conf from the distribution installs.
