You won't get a timeout if the firewall doesn't drop packets and httpd isn't running. You'll get a TCP RESET (IIRC). I think you'll get the same if you REJECT from the packet firewall. <checks "man iptables> No, you won't get a reject, you'll get an ICMP "port unreachable", although "tcp-reset" is an option. -- Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/ Phone: +1 (613) 592 5660 or 592 2122 Fax: +1 (613) 592 1175 -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Searchable archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
