Hi,

I'm forwarding Debian feature request #520668.

Could syn cookies be enabled by default?

Hi,

Alas, I can only give you a hint: while waiting for a better response,
you could try to 'google' for some archives of this list; AFAICR a few
(?) months ago David Miller explained this first question at least.
(In short: they aren't up-to-date enough.)

It looks like my memory is exact only about dates ("?"! ;-). There was
mainly David's opinion and some more in the thread (shared with lkml).
Here is a link:
