But the issue is that there are greater security implications than before when increasing this sysctl. To be honest, it's probably water under the bridge, because if you can stuff up SOMAXCONN number of sockets into the system per listening socket which is a lot more than the hash table eats up. :-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
