Previously I'd just made sure that blocking a ping at layer 2 and layer 3 return the same error after this commit. I just did a quick check. Ip_output returns EACCES, ip_input and ether_demux can't return an error. Ipfw does return EPERM if you try to alter the rules but aren't permitted to, but that's a different situation I guess.
