Just curious as to why the ip_always_defrag choice was removed from configuration list and buried in the sysctl stuff. What this means to me I'm not quite sure. I picked ip_always_defrag as an example because the documentation suggests there is some advantage to having this switched on. Also, the firewall configuration tool at http://linux-firewall-tools.com/linux/firewall/index.html generated a file with lines such as: # Enable always defragging Protection sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_always_defrag=1 The utility states that the firewall will work on Redhat boxes. Is that sysctl line a utility that is common only to Redhat? To use this on Debian I would assume that the line changes to echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_always_defrag Is this correct, or am I missing something? There are other config lines like this, not only the ip_always_defrag. Overall, I'm just trying to understand what might affect my machines after any upgrades, especially kernel upgrades. Wading through all the docs gets somewhat tedious at times. Thanks for the one and only reply, -- tony mollica [EMAIL PROTECTED]
