- Enable the deprecated sysctl system call. sys_sysctl uses
- binary paths that have been found to be a major pain to maintain
- and use. The interface in /proc/sys is now the primary and what
- everyone uses.
+ sys_sysctl uses binary paths that have been found challenging
+ to properly maintain and use. The interface in /proc/sys
+ using paths with ascii names is now the primary path to this
+ information.
- Nothing has been using the binary sysctl interface for some
- time now so nothing should break if you disable sysctl syscall
- support, and your kernel will get marginally smaller.
+ Almost nothing using the binary sysctl interface so if you are
+ trying to save some space it is probably safe to disable this,
+ making your kernel marginally smaller.
- Unless you have an application that uses the sys_sysctl interface
- you should probably say N here.
+ If unsure say Y here.
