Will I see a process consuming 100% of CPU Resources, or people will feeling much slower when they are accessing my server, or the box starts dropping some packets ? (what I meant access lists is the TCP filtering managed thru ipchains, iptables, etc.) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
