>Description:
It appears that the sysctl descriptions are out of order for the following sysctl states:

net.bpf.bufsize
net.bpf.maxbufsize


Example:

root at box : [00:31am] : etc : sysctl -d net.bpf.bufsize
net.bpf.bufsize: Maximum capture buffer size in bytes

root at box : [00:31am] : etc : sysctl -d net.bpf.maxbufsize
net.bpf.maxbufsize: Default capture buffer in bytes


>How-To-Repeat:
Run these commands and compare the output

sysctl -d net.bpf.bufsize 
sysctl -d net.bpf.maxbufsize 


>Fix:
