Hi all, It appears as though SVN r244198 introduced a regression. One that is affecting HEAD and stable/10 (for upcoming 10.0-R) and was introduced 10 months ago (but does not appear to have made it into 9.x yet or even stable/9). The regression introduced by r244198 is that: Whilst "sysctl -f /etc/sysctl.conf" will parse parameters with quoted values... "service sysctl start" will not work with quoted values. It seems to me that /etc/rc.d/sysctl should be using "sysctl -f file" to be consistent. For example... cat <<EOF >> /etc/sysctl.conf net.inet.ip.forwarding=3D"0" EOF sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=3D1 sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding # reports 1 service sysctl start # error: /etc/rc.d/sysctl: WARNING: unable to set net.inet.ip.forwarding=3D= "0" # value unchanged sysctl -f /etc/sysctl.conf sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding # value changed to 0 --=20 Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
