[Solved] /etc/rc.d/sysctl: WARNING: sysctl current does not exist.

During startup of my 7.4-RELEASE-p3 I get these messages:

Code:

/etc/rc.d/sysctl: WARNING: sysctl current does not exist.
/etc/rc.d/sysctl: WARNING: sysctl ====== does not exist.
/etc/rc.d/sysctl: WARNING: sysctl 7.4-Release does not exist.

My /etc/rc.d/sysctl:

Check the contents of /etc/sysctl.conf.

BTW I don't know what's wrong:

Code:

# cat /etc/sysctl.conf
current version
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16
=======
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/sysctl.conf,v 1.8.38.1 2010/12/21 17:10:29 kensmith Exp $

You skipped this file during mergemaster(8). Just remove the entire content except the remarks.

Thanks a lot it works well now.

Like the error messages said, "current version" and "7.4-RELEASE" are not valid sysctls, and should not be in there.

Thanks and

Code:

compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16

should I leave?

**wblock@** · #8 March 8th, 2012, 06:10

That's the default version already, at least on 9-stable. Comment it out and check the default value after rebooting:
% sysctl compat.linux.osrelease

If it's already that value, it would be better not to have that entry.
