In this case, you make your firewall REJECT the packet, instead of
DROPing it. In the general case, the duratoin until the connection
time outs is a property of the TCP/IP stack, and can probably be
changed using an ioctl or a proc file. I seem to recall Stevens
discussing it, but I dont have the book near by at the moment. I'm
sure choo, or someone else, will correct me if I'm wrong ;)
