Sure, you can block SYN packets and such like that. However, if it lakes state, there are still plenty of ways to cause problems. Supposedly, I believe I read it on LKM, 2.6.12 includes the netfilter/conntrack stuff that has been in the works for while. Yes, I probably should be more clear. However, in the past I have mentioned the need for this specifically and was told to wait until it was completed, well, it is, and it is being folded in. So, rumor mongering no! Assuming too much, probably. Trever On Sat, 2005-05-07 at 19:55 -0700, Pete Zaitcev wrote: > On Sat, 07 May 2005 12:01:31 -0600, "Trever L.
