>Since RFC 1323 deals with long fat pipes, which very few of us have, it >would make sense to turn the extensions off in the shipped /etc/sysconfig. Actually, the main reason it is on is for the other half of RFC 1323 which specifies the "time stamp" extensions for better round-trip time estimates. Unfortunately, I agree with you, however, that RFC 1323 extensions should be disabled by default. The RFC 1644 extensions (T/TCP), however, should remain enabled by default. This will only break "finger", and is useful for keeping vendors TCP stacks compliant. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
