      Apparently it doesn't work on my 2.1-BETA0 โ€ฆ (any settings there seem to be ignored)

      Setup seems OK:

      grep ^loader_conf_files /boot/defaults/loader.conf
      loader_conf_files="/boot/device.hints /boot/loader.conf /boot/loader.conf.local"

        Yes, I've set things there and they're respected.

        What are you trying to set that is "ignored" there?

        Sure there isn't a syntax causing the file to be invalid?

          Hi jimp,

          I've tried various settings, e.g. ecn:

          cat /boot/loader.conf.local
          net.inet.tcp.ecn.enable="1"

          sysctl -a|fgrep ecn
          vfs.bufreusecnt: 1326
          net.inet.tcp.ecn.maxretries: 1
          net.inet.tcp.ecn.enable: 0
          net.inet.sctp.use_dcccecn: 1
          net.inet.sctp.ecn_enable: 1
          net.inet.ipsec.ecn: 0
          net.inet6.ipsec6.ecn: 0

          Whereas when I set them from CLI instead, it always works. Btw user miles267 seemed to have a similar problem, check http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,50484.0.html

          I've checked dmesg for any errors in parsing loader.conf.local, but I couldn't find any.

          I'll probably do a new 2.1-BETA install from scratch and try again.

            If it's not a loader tunable you may not be able to set it there. If you can set it run-time, just add it to System > Admin on the Tunables tab.
