Sure thing, 3.3.9-2 should be hitting ftp master in the next few
minutes.

Bug#732920: procps: sysctl --system fails to load /etc/sysctl.conf

2014-02-14 Thread Joerg Dorchain 
Hello,

would you mind uploading an interim packet with the fix?

The broken version is now in testing. And a router not routing
packets anymore due to sysctl not enabling forwarding is a serious
functionality bug.

Bye,

Joerg

I agree. This bug should be RC.

Thanks for your report and pin-pointing the problem. I have
put this change into the upstream git repository.

Bug#732920: procps: sysctl --system fails to load /etc/sysctl.conf

2013-12-25 Thread Allen Chan 
Just ran into this problem as well.  Took a while to figure out why network
packets were not forwarded even though net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 was set in
/etc/sysctl.conf.

Bug#732920: procps: sysctl --system fails to load /etc/sysctl.conf

2013-12-22 Thread Pete Wyckoff 
Package: procps
Version: 1:3.3.9-1
Severity: normal

Since 69 was fixed, to use sysctl --system, a bug in sysctl
makes it that no settings in /etc/sysctl.conf are loaded.

Function PreloadSystem() has this near the end:

if (stat(DEFAULT_PRELOAD, ts)  0  S_ISREG(ts.st_mode)) {
if (!Quiet)
printf(_(* Applying %s ...\n), DEFAULT_PRELOAD);
rc |= Preload(DEFAULT_PRELOAD);
}

The first comparison is backwards.

This could be grave if admins rely on settings in /etc/sysctl.conf
for security-related issues.
