Hmm but isn't that quite "hidden"...?
sysctl(8):
FILES
/proc/sys
/etc/sysctl.conf
=> doesn't even mentioned /etc/sysctl.d/
sysctl.conf(5)/sysctl.d(5)
=> do mention all files properly
/etc/sysctl.conf:
# See /etc/sysctl.d/ for additional system variables.
# See sysctl.conf (5) for information.
=> kinda implies it's "only" /etc/sysctl.d/
/etc/sysctl.d/README.sysctl
=> same here... the directory contains the symlink to /etc/sysctl.conf
... so unless the user will read either of sysctl.conf(5)/sysctl.d(5)
he may not notice that there are other locations.
Cheers,
Chris.
