That's a little bit disingenuous, methinks. Support for the "deprecated and experimental extension" -- RFC 1644 -- was dropped a number of years ago. (Longer ago than I can easily recall.) The implict open/close mechanism is orthogonal to the long-gone support for RFC 1644. There may be good reasons to remove it anyway, but please don't claim that the status of RFC 1644 has anyting to do with it. -GAWollman _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
