I would like to modify the kernel of my Redhat 6.0 box so that it ignores
reset packets. I realize that this is a very unusual configuration, but it
is necessary for me. I would also like a mechanism for either resetting all
of the connections, or resetting the oldest ones if there are no more
openings. The point is that I need a setup that does not allow the
connections to be reset by a spoofed packet, but obviously, I must have some
mechanism for resetting them myself.

Thanks,

Jon Gary
