[arch-general] sysctl.conf.pacsave messages of archlinux.org and archlinux.de are different

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

archlinux.org claims "If you never customized /etc/sysctl.conf, you have
nothing to do", while archlinux.de's claim is that only those settings

"# Protection from the SYN flood attack.
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
# Disable packet forwarding.
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 0"

were used by a /etc/sysctl.conf that never was customized.

I never customized the /etc/sysctl.conf on my machine, but it contains
other enabled entries too.

$ grep -v "#" /etc/sysctl.conf.pacsave
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 0
kernel.sysrq = 0
vm.swappiness = 10
fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288

This is confusing.

Regards,
Ralf
