How do I do this (sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps) on a Debian box man 8 sysctl would be a good place to start for that answer, but... sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps=0 would be a good start. see if that helps with the nmap uptime query. if so, add the setting to /etc/sysctl.conf (man 5 sysctl.conf for syntax) to survive reboots. -j -- "Peter: At least they don't put their feminine ointments next to the mustard, Lois.
