Hi,

Hello,
Tomas Smetana napsal(a):
The problem is that any attempt to read a deprecated sysctl ends up
with kernel warning in the log. Thus "sysctl -a" produces warnings and
since "sysctl -a" is used in init scripts
(/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/init.ipv6-global),
While I have no opinion about the general case, can't the (sysctl -a
|grep "^net\.ipv6.conf\.") be replaced by (sysctl net.ipv6.conf) ?
The reason is probably that when the initscripts were created 'sysctl
net.ipv6.conf' wasn't supported. For example, it doesn't work
(returns nothing) on RHL73 and RHL9 (and I suspect RHEL21 and RHEL3).
It works on RHEL4 though.
I'm also not sure (didn't check) if the failure mode is different when
IPv6 hasn't been loaded. The grep returns an empty set, sysctl
returns an error and a return code. Either could be made to work.
