is there any modern utility in chargen? Who knows, when CGNs become commonplace we'll start to run out of ephemeral ports and we'll have to start using ports < 1024 too. Would be a shame if their use were impeded by old ACLs lying around.

woah! i did not suggest acls. i was assuming that one just disables the 'service'.
Oh, I'm sorry! I honestly thought this thread was about filtering as a way of mitigating abuse. Yes, of course one should not run the service, especially not UDP. -- Niels.
