[Bug 1076331] [NEW] sysctl does not accept key value pairs with spaces, but perhaps should

2012-11-08 Thread Jason Spashett
Public bug reported: For example, the config files in /etc/sysctl.conf have spaces between name and value pairs The problem is that the values probably get played into sysctl -w somehow sysctl does not seem to accept name value pairs with spaces, yet it displayes them with spaces via sysctl -a

[Bug 1076331] Re: sysctl does not accept key value pairs with spaces, but perhaps should

2012-11-08 Thread Jason Spashett
The only realistic solutions appear to be: (1) Make sysctl -a output name value paris without spaces for consistency (2) Make the things that generate files in /etc/sysconf.d not put spaces in. The way the sysctl command line works requires one or more name value pairs with no space seperation.
