Uh... why? It's a configuration option. It's not impossible to do afterwards, and if implemented would limit the usefulness of loop detections in the first place. A special case for use often needs a little configuration. Um, please remember I'm just the messanger here. Because thin clients have different needs, and, particularly in the case of k12ltsp, removing some of the deeper darker configuration voo-doo is gonna be neccessary. Please feel free to suggest a better number than 250 if you wish. However, understand that the number was arrived at with Real World PXE booting experience, something we are sorely lacking in at the moment. The loop detection in 2.3.3 and earlier is clumsy, and duplicates some of the functionality in the configuration section. It's clumsy because the -loop option is passed on the command line and can't be overridden in the config file. The current development branch of xinetd removed the -loop option, since the per-service 'cps' directive (connections per second) duplicated much of the purpose of -loop, but is more configurable. It still defaults to on, with the old compiled defaults, but is at least configurable now. The current rawhide version of xinetd is based on that snapshot. Reassigning to pxe - if there is a desire to change the defaults for that package, it can be done. Leaving defaults as-is |
