Hi, I noticed a small hitch with ethernet bridging when a power failure rebooted a machine tonight... It seems that if sysctls for bridging are placed in /etc/sysctl.conf, they are set to those values, but the kernel doesn't seem to take notice. Bridging only starts working once the sysctls are set -again- at run time. Could sysctl.conf be getting processed before code needed for bridging comes into effect? Bridging is compiled into the kernel on the machine. Does anybody know why this would be happening? I've devised a temporary solution for people who have noticed this, simply set the sysctls again from a file like /usr/local/etc/rc.d/bridge.sh or something to the same effect.
