  Subject: Syn+Fin (Setup) And TCP RST


  I've added those 2 options in my kernel long time ago:
  options         TCP_DROP_SYNFIN         #drop TCP packets with SYN+FIN
  options         TCP_RESTRICT_RST        #restrict emission of TCP RST  =
       =20


  Is this could be the reason why even when i add in my firewall to send =
RST packets, it takes me 30 seconds till i get timeout of Connection =
refused when i telneting my box on randomly closed ports.. ?=20

  And about TCP_DROP_SYNFIN .. is this could be one of the reasons =
'setup' command 'aint working on my ipfw?

  If my speculations are true... Why those kernel options are used for?

  Thanks,

            Liran Dahan (lirandb@netvision.net.il)
