Then by this token we should all set a state limit of 1 state per host, correct, if there's something using more states it must be compromised. Nice theory. Why not just block the single host causing the problem, when you have a high state limit, try shell commands to count the states used every few minutes and then add the excessive hosts to a table, rather than choke the network. Oh and don't resort to name calling, it makes the rest of the post look childish, even if there is content of technical merit. -- Regards, Ed http://www.usenix.org.uk
