-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- A while back a kernel patch came out for Linux to counteract what is known as the "teardrop" attack. (I am not sure of the exact details of this attack (how it is done, etc.) It wasn't clear to me whether this affected just Linux systems or most TCP/IP implementations in general. If this affects more than just Linux systems, then does it affect FreeBSD too? If so, is there a patch available? - --- Donald Burr <dburr@POBoxes.com> - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.
