Disabling TCP Timestamps

Is there a way to disable the timestamps on the TCP protocol in QNX? I am
on a satellite internet service and they recommend that all machines should
be configured to disable the timestamp. I cannot successful do a checkout
with CVS under Linux unless I do a ‘echo 0 >
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps’. I am getting the same kind of problem
doing a CVS checkout under QNX but have found no documentation about
adjusting this parameter in the TCP driver. I thought it might be an option
on io-net but I don’t see it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Take a look at the docs for sysctl, especially sysctl net.inet.tcp.rfc1323.

Oops, missed that completely. I wonder why I couldn’t find that with the
searches I did. Thanx for the help.
