So far that has resulted in a number of degenerating discussions of how things work. Of course, Nagle will not help between two machines on the same ethernet segment, but probably would make the process described in the paper much harder. All of this aruges for Kerberos or some other cryptographic system so once you're authenticated once there is little or no need to type additional passwords. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
