Hi all.
I've been suggested to report this problem here. First reported in the arch
linux forums:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=170005
It seems systctl assumes by default that the /etc/sysctl.conf file exists.
In arch linux after the upgrade to systemd 207 this file no longer exists
and will not be read even if created by hand (instead
/etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf is suggested if any change from the default
values is needed).
At least when running "sysctl -p" or "sysctl --system", the commands fail
because they assume that /etc/sysctl.conf exists, and exit with an error
when it is not found.
Could sysctl use the conf files in /etc/sysctl.d/ as a fallback if
/etc/sysctl.conf doesn't exist?
