Not to bug you, but anything of interrest which you know about now? I've
done some grokking in there, but I have to admin there are some strange
ones which I can't guess about (most of which probably don't have anything
to do with what I'm looking for, but...):
kern.fscale
net.inet.icmp.errppslimit (what kind of errors is it limiting?)
net.inet.tcp.cwm
Again, they may have absolutely nothing to do with what I need, but I'm an
inquring mind ;-)
