     sbin/sysctl          sysctl.c 
   Log:
   SVN rev 179965 on 2008-06-23 22:06:28Z by mtm
   
   The sysctl(8) program exits on some errors and only emits warnings on
   others. In the case where it displayed warnings it would still return
   succesfully. Modify it so that it returns the number of sysctls that
   it was not able to set.
   
   Make use of this in rc.d to display only *unsuccessfull* attempts to
   set sysctls.
