SV: Automatic TCP send socker buffer sizing

A RELENG_6 version (for FreeBSD 6.x) of the patch is here:

http://people.freebsd.org/~andre/tcp_auto_sndbuf-20061116-RELE
NG_6.diff

Just apply this patch and recompile your kernel. It is
activated by default.

Downloaded, applied, recompiled, installed and rebooted without any errors.
I did however add the sysctl variables to my /etc/sysctl.conf just in case.

Be aware that all socket buffer sizing events get logged to
syslog under LOG_DEBUG.

Does this mean they will automatically show up in /var/log/debug.log?

This may affect overall system
performance and you may want to disable logging to disk of
this in syslogd.conf.

I could use some help with the syntax for this... :-)



And a final question: Will this feature work regardless of what side
initiates the TCP connection? Or will I have to instruct my ftp-users to use
active mode only when they transfer files to/from my FreeBSD box?

Morgan
