How to stop ping

[Rgomes]

Hi All,

How can I stop ping( echo req/echo reply) from outside my 11i box?
I don't want, outside world can ping to my lan0( or anyother inter) IP.

Thanks in advance,
Richard

Hi Sri,

Thanks for your reply.

from the link,I found only 'ndd' and 'Ipfilter' can stop ping on HPUX box.
I have installed IPfilter, but cannot work things out by the below rule:

#
# block all ICMP packets.
#
block in proto icmp from any to any
#

The above rule blocks all other ports as well, like udp port 53. But, I need only to disable ping.

Thanks

Richard
