The new procps has added a sysctl.conf file which is causing some people
problems - how is the this file being sourced without anything in the
initscripts to source it? Is it actually automatically sourced and my
patch was a ridiculous oversight?

Done. It is now right at the end before rc.multi starts the daemons.

Sure there of plenty of reasons why it should be later so you >best

It needs to be done after the modules in rc.conf are loaded. The
mplayer setting, for example, needs the rtc module to be loaded or
else there won't be any /proc/sys/dev/rtc.

This does seem pretty fair to me, I dont see why rc.sysinit can't do a
sysctl -p if /etc/sysctl.conf exists - then just need to an
instruction to
the mplayer.install to tell you to make sysctl.conf and add the
command -
everybody is happy then!

However, why is an mplayer setting in rc.sysinit? I don't use
mplayer,
my server doesn't use mplayer - so why do they have this setting?
Same thing: why is stuff about console fonts there?
_My_ server does not have a screen! What's the difference?
Anyway, we are talking mainly about "sysctl -p" belonging there.
And that's a very flexible thing; the mplayer line _could_ then be
added to /etc/sysctl.conf (and I advocate this, but that is out
of rc.sysinit) - or not.
Kind regards,
Leslie
