Hehehe.. not really :)

I've upgraded all the Linux / Fbsd machines on the network so they aren't
susceptable to the "Ping of Death" .. I'm trying to stop users ping
flooding machines (most people would see no ping reply and think "ahh!
I've killed the machine/modem" and stop)

Although I know of a lot of other Linux 1.2.13 machines out at ISPs ... 
*snigger*
