Details

Description:
I have remarked that the sysctl.conf file is not applied during the boot proccess.
That could be problematic with the IPv6 tempaddr parameters.

I attach a patch to correct this problem.
And, I have added the ability to split the sysctl file in many little configuration files in the sysctl.d directory

Additional info:
* initscripts => 2011.07.3-1
   rc.multi.patch (0.4 KiB)

Thanks for your contribution. I'll try to have a look at it as soon as I have time. Could I ask you to send a git fromatted patch to arch-projects@archlinux.org (need to sign up to the list first). That way everyone can have a look and offer their opinion.

If you are suggesting we support a new interface (which the configuration file/folder is), please provide links to show what other distro/systemd does. I'd be very reluctant to add an interface which is not supported by (almost) everyone else (or at least on their todo list).

Ok.

I have sent a mail with the patch in attachment.
For your information, the idea to split the sysctl.conf files was inspired by Debian architecture.
