X-Mailer: VM 6.75 under 20.4 "Emerald" XEmacs Lucid Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I recently tracked down the fact that our office uses up to 140000 states and then tracked down where to edit this in ipfilter (/usr/src/contrib/ipfilter/ip_state.h). This was somewhat obtuse, but that is more the product of the ipfilter project documentation than anything FreeBSD has done. This basically involved editing several constants ... and all is happy now. However, I found that editing this file didn't trigger it to be recompiled by the kernel make process. I have two suggestions: 1) make something dependant on these file somehow. 2) make a knob in LINT for IPSTATE_SIZE and IPSTATE_MAX Dave. -- ============================================================================ |David Gilbert, Velocet Communications. | Two things can only be | |Mail: dgilbert@velocet.net | equal if and only if they | |http://www.velocet.net/~dgilbert | are precisely opposite. | =========================================================GLO================ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
