It is disabled on both machines because they are public FTP/WWW servers, and RFC1323 (and other TCP extensions) don't work for all people. It will remain disabled until such time that 99.999% of the people out there can deal with TCP extensions. Otherwise, we'll be getting way too many bug reports. Wcarchive, for example, serves 20000 people a day; I'm sure you can imagine the extremely high probability that more than one person per day will run into this problem. :-) -DG David Greenman Core Team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
