using
sysrc tcp_drop_synfin=YES
configures the system to perform a
sysctl net.inet.tcp.drop_synfin=1
at every boot.
Simple as that.
Placing the sysctl line into /etc/sysctl.conf will achieve the same.
I don't know why there is an "official" rc.conf valure for this
particular sysctl and not for the gaziliion of other ones available.
Probably just like:
sysrc gateway_enable=YES
vs.
sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
Historical reasons :-)
Kind regards,
Patrick
