--- Comment #4 from Alfonso S. Siciliano <alfix86@gmail.com> ---
The sysctl name that have a trailing '.' are normal: they are normal sysctl
objects with a `struct sysctl_oid` in the MIB but their name
`sysctl_oid.oid_name` is just "\0".

I mentioned them at the BSDCan 2020 and in some quarterly status report to
describe sysutils/sysctlinfo-kmod, sysutils/sysctlbyname-improved-kmod and
devel/sysctlmibinfo2.

We can use sysutils/nsysctl to know their properties:

Obviously "security.jail.param.ip4" is the (internal node) father and
"security.jail.param.ip4." is a (leaf) child, they are not dublicates but
distinct objects.

We can use deskutils/sysctlview for a real GUI representation, in asciiart:

2147482851 "security"
      |
2147482945 "jail"
      |
2147482932 "param"
      |
2147482908 "ip4"
   ___|_____________________________________
   |                      |                |
2147482905 "saddrsel" 2147482906 "addr" 2147482907 "\0"
(<-"security.jail.param.ip4.\0")


Conclusion, the output of sysctl is correct, of course a jail expert could
update the descriptions to avoid confusion.
