Package: procps
Version: 2:3.3.12-3
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
# Uncomment the next line to enable TCP/IP SYN cookies
# See http://lwn.net/Articles/277146/
# Note: This may impact IPv6 TCP sessions too
#net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies=1
Syncookies has been enabled by default in the kernel for some years.
My recommendation would be to remove those lines from sysctl.conf entirely.
Gr,
Olaf

The sysctl configuration files are now part of linux-sysctl-defaults
and I'm pretty sure this key is not defined in their configuration
files.
