Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. ------ =_NextPart_000_01BD9C6C.15324920 Content-Type: text/plain When I configure a kernel I usually use the optimization options Wall -g -O4 fomit-frame-pointer funroll-all-loops fno-strength-reduce fno-strict-protoypes fast-math. Application such as Crack and Apache recommend using the highest optimizations and I came to these conclusions. I noticed that my ipfw may go nuts every month/1.5 months and I have to execute /etc/rc.firewall to resolve the problem. Could the way I configured my kernel be causing the ipfw to run amok. It seems as if configuring the kernel w/these options makes freebsd use less resources and runs a bit faster. Any comments/Suggestions??? ------ =_NextPart_000_01BD9C6C.15324920 Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="Tony Johnson.vcf" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Tony Johnson.vcf" BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:Johnson;Greg FN:Tony Johnson EMAIL;PREF;INTERNET:tjohnson@verio.net REV:19980620T213923Z END:VCARD ------ =_NextPart_000_01BD9C6C.15324920-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
