Simpler would be to add Ubuntu defaults in /etc/sysctl.d/00-ubuntu.conf or similar instead of /etc/sysctl.conf. Then, this could be overrided in obvious ways both by system administrators (/etc/sysctl.conf) and by packages (/etc/sysctl.d). -- - mdz -- 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
