Ooops. I guess I should have looked closer at the dates. I was thinking that this patch, or one similar to it was around for a while, as I seem to recall a similar diff being posted to one of the lists a while ago the specifically dealt with a way to ignore ICMP_REDIRECTs. It is useful to me in that Livingston Portmaster boxes dont deal very well (ie consistantly) with ICMP redirects, and this would be one way of dealing with this problem. But yes, if its recent, I understand why you would not commit it so close to a release date. ---Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Tancsa, tel 01.519.651.3400 Network Administrator, mike@sentex.net Sentex Communications www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
