Comment 1 Karel Zak 2006-11-28 12:10:53 UTC

The procps-3.2.5-sysctl-ignore.patch patch has been commited to CVS and will be
included in a next package update. Thanks for your report.

Comment 2 Fedora Update System 2007-04-03 16:12:02 UTC

procps-3.2.7-8.3.fc6 has been pushed for fc6, which should resolve this issue.  If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 3 Daniel Qarras 2007-04-21 13:25:41 UTC

I can confirm that this is fixed in the latest version.

Thanks.

Comment 4 Daniel Qarras 2007-10-28 16:43:56 UTC

Fixed long since. Closing.

Comment 5 Tomas Smetana 2007-10-29 07:27:06 UTC

Just a note -- the patch is about to be dropped (probably after RHEL 5.2 is
relased or in F-9), because sysctl -a is supposed to print all the values.  Even
the deprecated ones and the warning should be there.  If any script calls
"sysctl -a | grep something" or sysctl <deprecated sysctl> it's the script that
must be fixed not sysctl.
