Sure, this will prevent non-divert applications that want to speak IP protocol #254 from working, but I don't think any really exist. If they do, they didn't work on many FreeBSD kernels (the ones with IPDIVERT) anyway. By the way, thanks for doing this. The original divert patch was written to be optimized for the shortest possible patchfile rather than the most elegant implementation, hence some of the dumb stuff like stealing an IP protocol number. It's my fault for not cleaning it up first before it got committed. -Archie __________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Packet Design * http://www.packetdesign.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
