Description Manuel Mausz 2006-09-21 16:25:07 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #98726 +++

the tcpserver program allows a max number of connections (default 40). It does not allow for a maximum per ip address. This patch allows for that. Without this patch, tcpserver is highly suseptable to very basic DOS attacks.

This is for the ucspi-tcp ebuild, tcpserver program.
