This would be great :)
Just to be sure: you are working on it?

Hi Janos,

• the input format is great, as it's all purpose
• i understand the rational for limiting to linux the generic method, but in the long run, it might be relevant to add *bsd as well
• you mentionned it on IRC, and I don't know if you found a solution, but how will it work with sysctl.d ? shall it create a ncf.conf file, that would override others values (don't know if it's possible?)

ncharles: For now we plan to create an ncf method, that sets sysctl settings in a provided "${sysctl_file}" and on the live system parallel, and a second method, that has this variable default to "/etc/sysctl.conf", so it can be used later for customizing which file you'd want to put it in, and so the reporting could also work (we'd include the sanitized filename in the report).

in the long run somebody who actually has *bsd experience can extend it to also work on *bsd -- this is why open source rocks ;-)

fanf: Feri will be working on it.

I unfortunately cannot edit my original post in the ncf project, so if you could please extend the Input section with "sysctl config filename" ;-)
