Is there a way to prevent a machine generating icmp_redirects, actually
stop it running icmp altogether.
I have tried the ICMP_DROP_REDIRECT ="YES" in /etc/rc.conf. This I think

affects action on incoming redirects, but does not prevent generation of

redirects .

For example, on Solaris there is a file called in.rdisc which can be
renamed to prevent it being run at startup,  reboot and you get static
routing only on that machine. I am looking for some equivelent on
FreeBSD.

Any help very welcome

John
