Description Ludwig Nussel 2011-08-26 12:23:47 UTC

As per feature 312343 /etc/sysconfig/sysctl no longer exists. YaST must write sysctl settings directly instead, e.g. via /etc/sysctl.conf.

Comment 1 Thomas Fehr 2011-08-29 09:16:40 UTC

Reassigned to maintainer of yast2-security

Comment 2 Jiří Suchomel 2011-09-08 07:44:37 UTC

That feature is in state New. What's the status of  /etc/sysconfig/sysctl in 11.2?

We need to coordinate this among more YaST modules

Comment 3 Lukas Ocilka 2011-09-08 07:49:00 UTC

Ludwig, Coolo, the feature hasn't been implemented because it hasn't been
even evaluated. Status NEW means no PM or PjM wanted it to be implemented.

Comment 4 Ludwig Nussel 2011-09-08 08:02:52 UTC

That's why I filed the bug. fate apparently is /dev/null and gets no attention. 
/etc/sysconfig/sysctl is gone in 12.1. aaa_base converts it in %post to /etc/sysctl.conf on update. New installations don't have either.
Btw, systemd never cared about /etc/sysconfig/sysctl anyways.

Comment 5 Jiří Suchomel 2011-09-08 14:53:27 UTC

Fixed in yast2-security-2.21.2
