I was thinking of a kernel level ICMP logging utility that would be set using sysctl with appx 3 different levels of logging. Level 1: basic information (ie. what it was) Level 2: Basic Info + where it came from where it was headed Level 3: All information related to the ICMP packet Mostly I was thinking of this as a method of teaching myself more about ICMP and the fbsd kernel/sysctl but I just can't fathom a need for it, please.. someone give me a reason :) Brett L.
