I did not read the manpage very very carefully, just noticed that I found that part a bit confusing. Perhaps I was too tired to understand it correctly. If it seems more proper, we can close this PR and let me read the manpage again. Then, if it's ok with Soren I could write up how the sysctl's are enabled and how they're disabled, and send diffs that change all of them and not only one. I feel that both enabling and disabling sysctl's should be explained, but consistency is more important. This seems to be necessary, since some of the sysctl's are not disabled when put to 0, while others are. So if it's ok to add text that explains disabling too for those sysctl's that do support it, I'll go through the text again. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
