In Augeas 1.1.0, the README.sysctl file has been explicitly excluded: https://github.com/hercules-team/augeas/commit/ac49161fb185f2cd3b0ad257e76f45aa8462d082 Other distros (such as RHEL 6) load /etc/sysctl.d/* rather than *.conf, so we probably won't change this to *.conf upstream, perhaps until systemd (which only loads *.conf) is in standard use. -- Dominic Cleal Red Hat Engineering -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
