Description Christian S. Peron 2003-01-01 09:10:01 UTC 
	When blackhole(4) explains the default behavior of what happends when
	SYN segments are recieved on ports with no sockets listening, it says
	the system will return an RST packet, which is correct.

	However it reports that the connecting system will see the failure as a 
	"Connection reset by peer" error which would imply the remote machine's 
	connect(2) would have exited with failure and would have ECONNRESET set in
	errno. This is not accurate.

	blackhole(4) should report that the connecting machine will recieve a
	"Connection refused" error or ECONNREFUSED which is more accurate.

How-To-Repeat: 	N/A
