Possible bug report: ISS patches (version three), along with a couple of other
patches (raid, no_atime, no_inum) put onto our news server. I had enabled
RST syn cookies, and everything was fine - for local machines, and for
certain clients. However, our dialups didn't appear to be able to talk to
the news server - on telnetting to the news server, I saw the welcome
banner, then none of my keypresses appeared to go through. A minute or
two later, it timed out the connection. Looked like the news machine was
ignoring packets from win95 dialup machines.
The dialup machines are dialled into Livingston Portmasters.
Re-did the kernel without that option selected, and everything appears to
work.
Is there any special trick for that particular option?
