Hubbard" Sender: owner-cvs-all@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Boys, boys enough now! The issue is more or less concluded and I can see how clashing points of view may have clouded this picture just a bit. Matt is an ISP and he sees issues like this with an ISP's eye. To him, continuous pings are no more than a nuisance and at least some people agree with limiting this application's behavior or the flood ping option (yet another useful feature for bandwidth testing) wouldn't have been turned off for anyone but root awhile back. Sean is not an ISP and doesn't see things from that perspective at all. Can't we all just get back to work now? :) - Jordan > In article <199808271624.JAA14693.kithrup.freebsd.cvs-all@apollo.backplane.co m> you write: > > I really don't think login.conf is the place to put application-specific > > restrictions. > > No, you apparantly think that applications are the place to put site-specific > restrictions. >
