Description Peter Gantner (a.k.a. nephros) 2012-03-02 18:20:49 UTC

The sysctl init script in openrc does this:

    for conf in /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf /etc/sysctl.conf; do
       .. apply the settings

This means that files in /etc/sysctl.d/ can in fact not override things set in /etc/sysctl.conf (as /etc/sysctl.conf will be processed later and overwrite things).

I think the order of files in the loop should be reversed, so that /etc/sysctl.conf  is evaluated first, and /etc/sysctl.d/* are handled later.

Reproducible: Always
