Kernel system variables configuration files
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Files found under the /etc/sysctl.d directory that end with .conf are
|
|
|
|
|
parsed within sysctl(8) at boot time. If you want to set kernel variables
|
|
|
|
|
you can either edit /etc/sysctl.conf or make a new file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The filename isn't important, but don't make it a package name as it may clash

with something the package builder needs later. The file name must end
|
|
|
|
|
with .conf, or it will not be read.

The recommended location for local system settings is /etc/sysctl.d/local.conf
|
|
|
|
|
but as long as you follow the rules for the name of the file, anything will
|
|
|
|
|
work. see the sysctl.conf(5) man page for details of the format.
