Good.

RST cookies don't work so great and seem to cause problem in some circumstances. SYN cookies are much more well proven and seem to work better.

Because its not supposed to.
man accton, acct (2 & 5), lastocmm, etc. for details.
If you don't have these install the acct package or get linux acct-1.3.73 or the latest gnu acct (6.3?).

Becuase 2.1.93 has been possed by satan.
It locks up on booting for me too (440VX Ppro200). I'll look at it when I get a chance but most likely by then someone else will have fixed this.
