Yes, I just tried it again and it worked as you stated. Only retains the first value set. I spent considerable time trying to figure this out and the only solution that worked was to edit /etc/rc and reboot. I even saw it change the settings the second time on the boot screen. That is how I knew how to fix it. Not that way now.

Weird.

as far as I'm aware, on OSX the only time that the values actually get
set is the *first time*, after bootup, that you run, say:
  sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmax=8388608
So if you have a sysctl.conf, it will have already set them. The line you've commented out can't change them because they've already been set.

Yes. I just tried it again: The values from /etc/sysctl.conf are indeed the ones that are retained. The subsequent lines in /etc/rc have no effect.
