ntp strangeness

s off the wire regardless of whether the ntp daemon was running or not? The packets are still being broadcast and the daemon can't stop that. I'd have thought tcpdump would have detected the packets lower down the stack before they even got to the daemon. TIA, Steve -- Steve Laurie

pf.conf and tags

about, "My network can do no harm" and ever since then, I've blocked all that's not needed. Is this an overkill that could be chocking my performance since if you were to print my rules out, the paper would go from here to China and back? Cheers, Steve Laurie -- Windows co

rfc1918

Hi all, I was wondering if someone could tell me why there's a need to write a rule to block addresses that come under the private address space if these addresses aren't routable over the Internet? Cheers, Steve -- I like Linux. I used it to download OpenBSD!!!

tcpdump functionality

perimented with countless combinations like 10-120, { 10:120 } etc. to no avail. Am I remembering incorrectly? Is tcpdump incapable of reporting on a port range? TIA, -- Steve Laurie

tcpdump port range

'm missing something really simple or is it just not capable of doing this? TIA Cheers, Steve Laurie -- Hey, it compiles! Ship it!
