/etc/sysctl.conf

Hi,

I am trying to decide where to enter boot-time kernel parameters.
It seem to me that the /etc/sysctl.conf or /etc/sysclt.d is an appropriate place.
But entering parameters here is not reflected in dmesg while entering the parameters as kernel command in uEnv.txt does.

Question: Is the sysctl.conf in use and functional in Debian 3.8.13?

Best regards
