Without this, there's no way to have package defaults override unmodified system defaults; the sysctl.d folder becomes essentially useless.
Perhaps a more complete fix is to make it clear that manual settings should be done somewhere other than sysctl.conf when the same setting is modified by something in sysctl.d. A sysadmin using a file like /etc/sysctl.d/zzz.sysctl.conf would guarantee that his override comes after packages. A simple comment explaining this at the top of /etc/sysctl.conf might help here. -- invoke-rc.d procps start loads /etc/syctl.d before /etc/sysctl.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256025 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
