On startup, it's settings are ignored, I've to restart the sysctl script in order to apply the settings. Reproducible: Always

what settings exactly are being reset ? do you see sysctl at boot (look in rc.log) ? what desktop environment are you using ?
Yes, cat /var/log/rc.log | grep sysctl sysctl | * Configuring kernel parameters ... All parameters get reseted to the default value (of the kernel) It appears to be that starting of kdm (I use KDE) resets it, but I'm not sure. As a result, I've set sysctl -p in the local startup scripts which starts after 40 seconds of sleep.
Based on comment #4, this is most likely not an OpenRC issue; it looks like something might be resetting the values after /etc/init.d/sysctl has run. I am re-assigning to base-system for now.
(In reply to comment #5) still not a base-system problem but based on searching, i see the OP already filed this exact bug a while ago. it's bad enough when users don't search for other users's bugs, but to dupe your own is really bad ... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 386017 ***
Ohhh!! Sorry!!
