Description adsharma 1999-11-21 02:30:01 UTC
# sysctl -d kern.ostype
sysctl: sysctl name -1 1024 2: No such file or directory

Fix: 

Looks like the 'descr' field is being ignored in the kernel.
Either it should not be ignored or the -d flags should be
deleted from the sysctl man page.
How-To-Repeat: # sysctl -d kern.ostype
