Description Alex Semenyaka 2002-03-15 21:20:00 UTC 
There is several possible values for the MIB net.inet.tcp.log_in_vain, as it
is obvious from the /usr/src/sys/netinet/tcp_input.c. 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

I missed that now we use the "patched" state when a fix is awaiting MFC. 
Thank Ruslan Ermilov <ru@FreeBSD.ORG> for pointing out.
