The value of '1' forces to log only SYN-packets, value of '2' means log all, and all other values turn logging off. Unfortunatelly there is no description of these values in tcp(4) or rc.conf(5) while it might be useful for system administrators. >How-To-Repeat: man 4 tcp >Fix: --- tcp.4 Sat Mar 16 00:01:35 2002 +++ tcp.4.new Sat Mar 16 00:05:17 2002 @@ -215,7 +215,9 @@ Maximum TCP receive window. .It tcp.log_in_vain Log any connection attempts to ports where there is not a socket -accepting connections. +accepting connections.
