Over the weekend (and a bit of tonight/friday night), I hacked
up some changes to support using "ipf -T" on timeouts and table
sizes at runtime, without having to disable IPFilter.  This will
also open the door to being able to do "set <name> <value>;" in
ipf.conf - something that should make life easier for a lot of
people.  The only catch will be if changing the size of the table
is requested at runtime and there are a large number of active
entries (think closer to 100,000 or more) as the resize needs to
reinsert every entry back into the new table.

The preliminary diffs are at:
http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~avalon/ipf-T-runtime.patch

If nobody can see a problem with this approach, I'll commit these
changes later on in the week.

I have no plans to backport this to ipf 4.1.*

Cheers,
Darren
