${fwcmd} add deny icmp from any to ${ip}
building on the 'client' prototype (change reference to the ip for 'simple'
prototype). However, ping is not allowed by default, and so if your system
is set to default deny, nobody can ping the machine if you're using even an
unmodified client (or simple) prototype.
