Maybe blackhole(4) should be reworded to something like this:
From:
this as a "Connection reset by peer". By turning the TCP black hole
MIB
on to a numeric value of one, the incoming SYN segment is merely
dropped,
and no RST is sent, making the system appear as a blackhole.
To:

MIB
on to a numeric value of one, the incoming SYN segment arriving on a
closed
port is dropped, and no RST is sent, making the system appear as a
blackhole.
Thats what I think its trying to say...
