No, sysctl works the way it should: $ ls -al /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register \ /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/flush \ /proc/sys/net/ipv6/route/flush --w------- 1 root root 0 Sep 5 18:42 /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register --w------- 1 root root 0 Sep 12 00:06 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/flush --w------- 1 root root 0 Sep 12 00:06 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/route/flush Those are write-only kernel tunables. Even root cannot read a tunable that should flush a routing table, that's meaningless. Interpreting those kernel tunables as sysctl keys is somewhat stupid, of course, but: a) Is not a bug per se. b) Won't be fixed by reinstalling.
