We're aware that Linux _can_ do this. I was not aware it was doing this for SIP and FTP specifically; regardless, what implementations can do is less important than what they are configured to do most of the time, and that's what we'd need hard data on. Anyway, I'd be very interested to learn how you use this for SIP/FTP to evaluate the impact. Do you have documentation on this? As for server load balancing, I suspect that those are not the kinds of services that one would typically use port knocking for. Still, again a good hint as to where trouble might lurk (and we will definitively include those points in the next revision of the documentation). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
