Subject: Re: finger problem going from 2.1R to -current
I'm almost sure that the problems related to finger from current
machines is caused by the use of T/TCP. Apparently some (buggy or
at least non-conformant) TCP stacks have problems with T/TCP.
The short term solution is: `sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1644=0'. On
the other hand, it would be very useful if you could send me a
tcpdump trace of the failing conversation when using T/TCP and if
you know the type of the system you're connecting to.

That is not sufficient, we STILL need to patch the code to not send out
christmas tree syn packets when ttcp is disabled. We're still doing it
as of 2 weeks ago.
Garret?

p.s. I am about 2 weeks out of date and catching up on e-mail, so don't
take this as a flame if it's already been done.
