The following reply was made to PR kern/9791; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Jonathan Chen <jon@FreeBSD.org> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, shipley@dis.org Cc: Subject: Re: kern/9791: enhancement for netinet/ip_icmp.c to control ping responses Date: Sun, 5 Aug 2001 05:54:20 -0400 Is there a reason this should be used instead of ipfw/ipf? It seems frivolous to use this patch in FreeBSD 4/5. Filtering ping is really a function of the firewall anyway. Besides, it doesn't give that much extra security. I propose we just drop this idea and close the PR. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
