Hiroki Sato <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|In Discussion |Patch Ready Assignee|[email protected] |[email protected] --- Comment #7 from Hiroki Sato <[email protected]> --- Created attachment 147097 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=147097&action=edit A patch to make the limit user-configurable and bump the default value up to 2048. _IPEXPANDMAX was not intended for a hard limit of this functionality, just a safety-belt though I did not add it as a user-configurable knob. The reason why I added it is that a misconfiguration can unexpectedly generate a very very large number of addresses, especially in IPv6 because range specification handling in a shell-script is not so robust. A typo in IPv6 address can generate over 2^64 addresses. So, the moot point is whether this limit is still problematic even when it is user-configurable and an appropriate warning message is displayed. My proposed patch is attached. With this patch, one can increase it arbitrarily in rc.conf. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-rc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
