Hi, FreeBSD guys.
Wouldn't it be better to have the sysctl utility in /sbin instead of /usr/sbin?
One example:
I have a router which mounts its /usr from another host via NFS.
As it is a router, it calls sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
from /etc/rc.network on startup. But at that time, /usr is not mounted yet :-(
Now I have to copy /usr/sbin/sysctl to /sbin/. It has better to be done by
the distribution :-)
BTW, grep sysctl /etc/rc.network:
sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0 >/dev/null 2>&1
sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1644=0 >/dev/null 2>&1
sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 >/dev/null 2>&1
sysctl -w net.inet.ip.sourceroute=1 >/dev/null 2>&1
sysctl -w net.inet.ip.accept_sourceroute=1 >/dev/null 2>&1
sysctl -w net.ipx.ipx.ipxforwarding=1 >/dev/null 2>&1
sysctl -w net.link.ether.inet.proxyall=1 2>&1
sysctl -w vfs.nfs.nfs_privport=1 >/dev/null 2>&1
I am sorry if I'm writing to wrong group. I just don't know mechanisms
for the right way of such proposals.
