The following reply was made to PR bin/29071; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Brian Somers <brian@Awfulhak.org> To: scott@zorch.sf-bay.org Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG, brian@Awfulhak.org Subject: Re: bin/29071: a little hack to rwhod Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2001 01:23:17 +0100 > >Number: 29071 > >Category: bin > >Synopsis: relay patch for rwhod I like this idea -- I've thought of doing likewise myself before. However, I'm not sure I like the idea of sending the packet back out with a special X marker. I'd prefer if the target network(s) could be specified: rwhod -r 172.17.10.255 -r 10.0.0.255 etc If rwhod kept a note of the payload it sends out, and simply makes sure it doesn't send the same thing out twice in a row within (say) 15 seconds, it may be better ? This could be implemented fairly easily by just maintaining a list of timestamped outbound packets and expiring them when it notices they're out of date.... -- Brian <brian@freebsd-services.com> <brian@Awfulhak.org> http://www.freebsd-services.com/ <brian@[uk.]FreeBSD.org> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour ! <brian@[uk.]OpenBSD.org> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
