Hi, Is it enough to do "sysctl -w net.inet.icmp.bmcastecho=0" to prevent being Smurf Intermediary? And if so, how can I check it to get sure if it is ok? I did the above change, but my freebsd box still responses to ping (from a pc on the same Ehternet) to broadcast address. Is it normal? thanks, Nazila M. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
