Hi all,

1)I've been wondering how FreeBSD (3.1-Stable, inetd - some_version -
how is it obtained?) can handle these DoS attacks: ICMP Redirect,SYN Flood.

Specifically I`m interested in knowing about those kernels variables
and inetd options which are known to change the default behavior.
I found this: net.inet.ip.redirect=1. Is it bad?

2)Is it worth moving to/making use of xinetd?

Thanks for any bit of information.

- Dmitriy
