Those who were complaining are people who rely on rdisc (router discovery protocol) on their networks. At least, we should make routed more restrictive (-P norip, i believe).

Needless to say, their `check integrity' cron job will then bitterly complain every night that you've removed the link... -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
