hi, some sysctl values return spaces, this causes false positive change detection. this pull requests solves this issue, by transforming tabs to two spaces. https://github.com/thias/puppet-sysctl/pull/72 an example sysctl value that suffers from this issue is: net.ipv4.ping_group_range the value of net.ipv4.ping_group_range has tabs in it.
