<br>
I am trying to update a kernel variable on boot. So, after reading a bit here and there I found out that I could simply provide a .conf file under /etc/sysctl.d/ and have my required configs in it. I placed a file ipv6.conf under the mentioned directory with
the contents:<br>
<i><br>
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6=0</i><br>
<br>
so I could enable ipv6 on my eth0 interface on boot. Oddly enough this isn't working as I expected and doing a 'cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/disable_ipv6' still gives me '1'. I checked the status of the systemd-sysctl.service and it shows up as 'active
(exited)'. If I do a 'systemctl restart systemd-sysctl.service' after boot the configuration gets through as needed.<br>
<br>
What am I doing wrong? Are there any better ways of achieving the same?<br>
<br>
Any help here would be highly appreciated.<br>
<br>
