in http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/dialup-firewall/kernel.html, it is
explained what options to add to your kernel before recompiling to enable
things like firewall support, and IP stack restrictions like
TCP_RESTRICT_RST.  in the next page,
http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/dialup-firewall/rcconf.html, you mention
that you have to modify /etc/rc.conf to enable those options, but it is
not mentioned that if you actually used the additional options like
TCP_RESTRICT_RST in your kernel you still have to also turn them on in
/etc/rc.conf.

it would probably be nice to mention that on that second page -- one of my
friends pointed out i needed to do a little additional work in
/etc/rc.conf to enable the new SYN options in my kernel, instead of me
finding out from this tutorial.

just a suggestion, thanks for your time. ;)
