Thanks for a nice hack, I'll look at it :) H> What's stated in: H> H> https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/281024 H> H> Is correct. I see no technical reason to pull that out. Hans, no one argued with you, that there is a covert channel. Yes there is one! And there are dozens of other covert channels in TCP/IP. But our manual pages are not an essays on hacking the Internet, however. The point of the manual pages is to provide documentation on knobs and switches. The point of the manual pages is not to describe funny stuff you can achieve turning the knobs on or off. The documentation on net.inet.ip.random_id is solid and doesn't need the text from your commit. If you don't agree with me, let's ask opinion of Mike Silbersack, the author of the random IP ID code. What does he things on manual page diff? P.S. Let me notice again, that you give 1 hour and 40 minutes for review. Why so impatient? The paragraph was sitting there without modification for a decade. Can it wait for at least a day? -- Totus tuus, Glebius. _______________________________________________ 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"
