[Cross-posted to security and questions. Feel free to trim responses to the most appropriate group, I am subscribed to both.] Howdy, :) I have been doing some research on the security of various *nix's, and found some very interesting discussion in the mail archives regarding the security of freebsd vs. a sequence number guessing IP spoof attack. Without rehashing what seemed to be a rather heated discussion last spring, I am wondering if someone could fill me in on any changes, improvements, etc. that have been made in 2.2 regarding this problem. Also, if someone could highlight the changes regarding security against syn flooding promised in 2.2, it would help. Of course, if this information is already available on line, a pointer to it would be appreciated. Thank you, Doug
