Thanks for the patch. However, I don't think this is what we want. As a general rule we don't hide any error/warning messages from the user. It might be that the user does not care, but it might also be that s/he misspelled the name of the key, or that there is some other error where action needs to be taken. Alternatively, you could keep all your ipv6 (or whatever) settings in a separate file in /etc/sysctl.d/ipv6.conf, and rename it to ipv6.conf.backup when you don't want them to be used... > Signed-off-by: lolilolicon <[email protected]> Signed-off-by without your real name doesn't really mean anything btw...
