Hello,
I didn't realized that, but you have a point here.
For future reference, I got ansible sysctl working tuning the options :
Task :
- name: "Tuning sysctl"
sysctl:
name: "{{ item.name }}"
value: "{{ item.value }}"
reload: no
sysctl_set: yes
with_items: "{{ sysctl }}"
Vars :
sysctl:
- name: "net.inet.ip.forwarding"
value: 1
- name: "net.inet.carp.preempt"
value: 1

Cordialement,

But sysctl doesn't have a configuration file.
there is a file called sysctl.conf, but it isn't a configuration file for the
command. It is a list of sysctl changes, which will be made by the rc scripts
at startup.
someone in linux land went off the map here. and then another piece of
software started un-portably assuming that's the way to do things?
