	  Connection tracking keeps a record of what packets have passed
	  through your machine, in order to figure out how they are related
	  into connections.

	  This is required to do Masquerading or other kinds of Network
	  Address Translation (except for Fast NAT).  It can also be used to
	  enhance packet filtering (see `Connection state match support'

	  of a server.  DCC Sending is used anywhere you send files over IRC,
	  and DCC Chat is most commonly used by Eggdrop bots.  If you are

config NF_CONNTRACK_NETBIOS_NS

	  NetBIOS name service requests are sent as broadcast messages from an

	  same port. This make them hard to firewall properly because connection
	  tracking doesn't deal with broadcasts. This helper tracks locally
	  originating NetBIOS name service requests and the corresponding
	  responses. It relies on correct IP address configuration, specifically
	  netmask and broadcast address. When properly configured, the output
	  of "ip address show" should look similar to this:

	  $ ip -4 address show eth0
	  4: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000

	  Protocol, RFC2637) connection tracking and NAT.

	  If you are running PPTP sessions over a stateful firewall or NAT
	  box, you may want to enable this feature.

	  Please note that not all PPTP modes of operation are supported yet.
	  Specifically these limitations exist:
	    - Blindly assumes that control connections are always established
	      in PNS->PAC direction. This is a violation of RFC2637.

	  This option adds a `TCPMSS' target, which allows you to alter the
	  MSS value of TCP SYN packets, to control the maximum size for that
	  connection (usually limiting it to your outgoing interface's MTU
	  minus 40).

	  This is used to overcome criminally braindead ISPs or servers which
	  block ICMP Fragmentation Needed packets.  The symptoms of this
	  problem are that everything works fine from your Linux
	  firewall/router, but machines behind it can never exchange large
	  packets:
	        1) Web browsers connect, then hang with no data received.
	        2) Small mail works fine, but large emails hang.
	        3) ssh works fine, but scp hangs after initial handshaking.

	  Workaround: activate this option and add a rule to your firewall
	  configuration like:

	  iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN \
