Hi,
a new features in systemd 207 is to no longer read /etc/sysctl.conf. Instead /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf has to be used. Imho this needs a news item and we also need to think about what to do with the file we ship as part of procps-ng.
From the systemd changelog: * The systemd-sysctl tool no longer natively reads the file /etc/sysctl.conf. If desired, the file should be symlinked from /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf. Apart from providing legacy support by a symlink rather than built-in code, it also makes the otherwise hidden order of application of the different files visible.
I may sound lazy, but can't we just provide that symlink and get done with other problems? cheers! mar77i
