Changing the setting has heh, how could you know that many people (me included) simply turn the tcp_extensions on ? :-) But, well, one 4.3-STABLE box couldn't be correctly recognized by netcraft. It's linux.sinica.edu.tw. Yes, this box surely runs FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE. One of its administrators is my friend, who reveals this 'secret' in a flame war :-) Though netcraft doesn't think so: http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=linux.sinica.edu.tw Could anybody explain why ? There's no firewall, strange switching hub, strange routers in front of this box.
