Hi, I received a request from an ipfw user to change the timeout for half-closed connections from dyn_fin_lifetime to something different, such as dyn_ack_lifetime -- the requestor claims that there are many cases where a web client aborts the connection when the (remote) server becomes too slow, and in such cases the dynamic rule timeout for half-closed connection often expires before the fin from the other side comes in. The request seems reasonable, so if there are no objections I would like to ask jordan permission to commit this to 4.3 cheers luigi ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
