[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -S /etc/sysctl.conf procps: /etc/sysctl.conf
procps, methinks. The target is some time after Edgy, and apparently the spec is now networking-security-sysctls. 'net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects=0' has been disputed; the perceived problem seems to be that some bad infrastructure (two routers plugged into a switch hosting a network segment) will suffer excessive network traffic between the routers without redirects; and the threat of spoofing redirects (READ: NO AUTHENTICATION HERE) is outweighed by the threat of Ubuntu causing extra traffic because network administrators don't know how to enable this feature. -- implement some kernel network security features https://launchpad.net/bugs/55850 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
