From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020513 Description of problem: Sysctl is unable to set up parameters for vlan interfaces. The problem consists in the separators which are '.' and/or '/'. If in a variable in sysctl.conf are both present (net.ipv4/ip_forward) sysctl will not warn us. So we will unable to set (say) rp_filter on eth1.307 vlan interface. The problem is present to all previous versions of procps, and it can be fixed quicly if only one of the delimiters is accepted for the same variable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.create a vlan interface 2.figure out how to write a variable in /etc/sysctl.conf in roder to set parameters on eth1.307. 3.let me know if you succeed (maybe it's possible, but I found no possibility). Additional info:
yeah. That doesn't seem possible. Unfortunately it also seems hard to fix and stay backwards compat. Adding a switch is possible, but something else needs to be done for /etc/sysctl.conf.
Mass reassign to new owner
Fixed in procps 3.2.0
