Howdy!

	I recently installed 4.4RC. 

	In this release rfc1323 extensions are turned on by default
which is a change from 4.3. However, tuning(7) says that rfc1323
extensions should be off unless  "you absolutely have to"
turn them on.

	I was wondering if the change in default behaviour is
indicative of changes in the network code that make rfc1323 extensions
less risky and that it is recommended to enable these
extensions as is suggested by the change in default behaviour.

	thanx

	-steve
