            Bug ID: 232397
           Summary: ctld does not depend on sysctl.conf being evaluated
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.2-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: mqudsi@neosmart.net

The ctld service does not wait for sysctl.conf to be evaluated before runni=
ng.=20

Unfortunately, the drivers for some popular cards require sysctl configurat=
ion
in sysctl.conf (not possible in loader.conf) to bring them up in the correct
mode (e.g. mlx4/mlx4en to set the card in ip instead of ib mode), meaning t=
hat
when ctld starts up, it fails immediately because it can't listen on the
requested address.

I'm unsure how to modify /etc/rc.d/ctld to enact a dependency on sysctl.con=
f's
evaluation; for my purposes I ended up hacking the ctld service itself to
unconditionally execute the sysctls I need set prior to actually processing=
 the
service start command.
