apparently that wasn't clear. these places use some other crap for firewall/NAT, not OpenBSD. The idea that someone installing those networks could have remotely enough of a clue to find tcp.established and change it to, what, 300 seconds... no. impossible. wait. clue and changing tcp.established to something small in one person cannot exist. q. e. d. -- Henning Brauer, [email protected], [email protected] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting
