Description of problem: dmesg says it all: ip_conntrack version 2.4 (4095 buckets, 32760 max) - 228 bytes per conntrack process `sysctl' is using deprecated sysctl (syscall) net.ipv6.neigh.lo.base_reachable_time; Use net.ipv6.neigh.lo.base_reachable_time_ms instead. eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): procps-3.2.7-8 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. See dmesg output Actual results: Warning printed. Expected results: No warning. Additional info: Functionality is all ok.
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.
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.
I can confirm that this is fixed in the latest version. Thanks.
Fixed long since. Closing.
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.
