>Description:

	The net.inet.icmp.bmcastecho sysctl variable doesn't stop the system
	from replying to ICMP echo or timestamp requests sent to a broadcast
	address.

>How-To-Repeat:

	sysctl -w net.inet.icmp.bmcastecho=0
	ping broadcast address of network and note that system still
	replies.

>Fix:
