My point of view was to keep distribution compatibilities. most of the howto about
network say :
ip_local_port_range default values are : 1024 4999
My question was : why Mandrake decided to change these values ?
A lot of ipchains/iptables pre-configured scripts are using 1024 4999
ip_local_port_range values.
