Description of problem: After the most recent patch to systemd, the settings in /etc/sysctl.conf have the lowest priority. Thus, they are overwritten by the default values in the sysctl.d files. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-204-16.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Boot the system with a setting in /etc/sysctl.conf that conflicts with a default setting. For example, I have on my system: bash-4.2$ grep rp_filter /etc/sysctl.conf net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 0 bash-4.2$ grep rp_filter /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1 The boot messages include: Oct 09 11:48:33 ti5 systemd-sysctl[1250]: Overwriting earlier assignment of net/ipv4/conf/default/rp_filter in file '/usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf'. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install /etc/sysctl.conf with values intended to override the default values in the sysctl.d files 2. Reboot 3. Observe that /etc/sysctl.conf has lowest priority Actual results: Conflicting settings in /etc/sysctl.conf are ignored. Expected results: The values in /etc/sysctl.conf should have priority. That was the case until the most recent patch. Additional info:
Created attachment 810239 [details] give highest priority to the settings in /etc/sysctl.conf This patch fixes the problem for me.
