But, I'll voice my distaste for implementing things that just seem to "Make Sense". That's a model that has been used and is used by other operating systems and those of us who watch packets can attest that things that "Make Sense" often don't and likely would have benefitted by a bit more thought and a bit more vetting. I would be happier if something like this were vetted out a bit more (written up, digested by folks, etc.) before it went into anything but someone's experimental kernel. Just my two cents. allman -- Mark Allman -- ICIR -- http://www.icir.org/mallman/ --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBd/KBWyrrWs4yIs4RAg2gAJ9xlUCP//uGpoOA7LI2d7DINHVz3gCfR1bP jaMNH+4vOnCC06DHV7tU930= =UPzK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
