Thanks for the explanation. Yes, I know that systemd parses the legacy sysctl.conf and I don't have any issues with the default (4 uncommented) sysctl parameters, although I do change most of them :) But after moving my configuration into /etc/sysctl.d/, I found it odd to keep an empty sysctl.conf to "mask" the defaults (I don't know whether /etc/sysctl.d has a higher preference than sysctl.conf in the current systemd) instead of doing it via symlinks in /etc/sysctl.d/. It seems logical and alignes with systemd documentation to have distro-specific settings in a fixed-name .conf file inside /usr/lib/sysctl.d/... > > Cheers. > Best, -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key: 0x164B5A6D Fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
