Re: New feature for Linux:SYN cookies firewall.

["R. DuFresne" <dufresne () sysinfo com>]

Were syn cookies removed from the 2.2.x kernels and only now returning??

They certainly were part of the older 2.0.x kernels:

CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES=y

or have there been added enhancments?

Thanks,

Ron DuFresne
