On the Linux machine, you need to be running kernel version 2.0.7(It's the lowest we run) up to version 2.0.20(The highest we're running).Actually, I'm running 2.1.1 and it works on that as well...
It seems to work rather nicely on Digital Unix (some revisions), AIX, Linux 2.0.x and Linux 2.1.x - has anyone tried it on NT ? Ironically its a well known problem that is tested by the ip_send tool. It just happened that the test tool I used didnt construct a packet with a useful IP protocol field and it thus never hit the layer of code that can't handle forged big packets. As well as the patch quoted there is a slightly newer revision that also happens to log who tried to blow up your computer. Alan
