I have a fairly restrictive ipfw setup on a FBSD 8.2-STABLE machine.
Pings were not getting through so I added this near the top
of the rule set:
#####
# Allow icmp
#####
${FWCMD} add allow icmp from any to any
It does work but, two questions:
1) Is there a better way?
2) Will this cause harm or otherwise expose the server to some vulnerability?
