Noticed a couple= unfamiliar options in LINT near where the IPFIREWALL stuff is, ACCEPT_FILTER_DATA and ACCEPT_FILTER_HTTP. The extremely brief comment just says these= control wether the accept filters are statically linked or not. I suppose it's a= performance win to statically link as you don't have to allocate/free filter storage= repetitively? Should I enable these options or not? -- __ / ) _/_ It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. /--/ __ / Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, / (_/ (_<__ Instead of theories to suit facts. -- Sherlock Holmes, "A Scandal in Bohemia" Arthur W.
