Hi,
I noticed I had chopped off a whole comment, when I meant to only remove
part of it. So I've fixed that.
This is a reissued use-high-ports-for-local-stuff.diff, with a comment
fix. Does anyone have a problem with this patch in its current form?
Any chance of applying it?
This diff changes the default port range used for outgoing connections,
from "use 32768-61000 in most cases, but use N-4999 on small boxes
(where N is a multiple of 1024, depending on just *how* small the box
is)" to just "use 32768-61000 in all cases".
I don't believe there are any drawbacks to this change, and it keeps
outgoing connection ports farther away from the mess of IANA-registered
ports.
Thanks,
