Re: sysctl.conf not read at boot time

[Ede Wolf <listac%nebelschwaden.de@localhost>]

Thanks very much for your explanation. I've tried two values, 
securelevel and ip6 forwarding and both did not work.

However trying another value as recommended (hw.audio0.multiuser) did 
the trick.
So I have just picked the two wrong settings.

Thanks again

Ede
