I would be surprised if this is actually the case as there would be
many, many more bugreports like this.  However what often can happen is
that the settings do not take because the values apply to things that
are not there or they are overwritten.

This usually happens with settings to network devices, for example.
Can you give me an specific example of where this is happening?

Bug#471308: procps: sysctl.conf values are not activated during boot time

2008-03-17 Thread Ritesh Raj Sarraf
Package: procps
Version: 1:3.2.7-6
Severity: important

On system boot, I've noticed that the sysctl.conf kernel tunable
settings are not activated. If I manually run sysctl -p, then it takes
those settings.
