The permission denied errors still show on kernel 2.6.27-7 $sudo sysctl -a | grep show_me_nothing error: permission denied on key 'net.ipv4.route.flush' error: permission denied on key 'net.ipv6.route.flush'
and when I do not use sudo I get the following additional error message: $ sysctl -a | grep show_me_nothing error: permission denied on key 'kernel.cad_pid' error: permission denied on key 'net.ipv4.route.flush' error: permission denied on key 'net.ipv6.route.flush' Are we dealing with file permission error messages? Not sure if relevant but take a look at the file permissions of: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/flush and /proc/sys/net/ipv6/route/flush and /proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid Notice that those files do not have read access for user, group or other. Except for cad_pid that has owner read access to it. $/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route>ls -l total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-21 16:44 error_burst -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-21 16:44 error_cost --w------- 1 root root 0 2008-11-21 16:44 flush -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-21 16:44 gc_elasticity -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-21 16:44 gc_interval -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-21 16:44 gc_min_interval -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-21 16:44 gc_min_interval_ms -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-21 16:44 gc_thresh -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-21 16:44 gc_timeout -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-21 16:44 max_size -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-21 16:44 min_adv_mss -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-21 16:44 min_pmtu -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-21 16:44 mtu_expires -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-21 16:44 redirect_load -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-21 16:44 redirect_number -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-21 16:44 redirect_silence -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-11-21 16:44 secret_interval -- sysctl: permission denied https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236558 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
