To make you sleep better it will be disabled by default (like T/TCP) and possibly even not compliled in by default (#ifdef'd). If enabled and compiled in it does not automatically enable itself for all and everything. The application has to enable it on the socket as well. A writeup will follow once I get there. I made this request before I start working on it to prevent to waste my time on it if people wanted to religiously stick to T/TCP. -- Andre _______________________________________________ freebsd-arch@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arch To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-arch-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
