If you would like to enable pingnig, try putting this into your firewall script:
echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts HTH David -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Mereness [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 7:59 PM To: Expert Mandrake List Subject: [expert] Pinging Secure Mandrake The table on http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/msec.php shows that Security Level 4 and higher causes ICMP Echo (ping) packets to get dropped. How is this accomplished? Is it in the kernel itself? I thought it might have been a pre-defined IPtables rule executed by an msec script, but my IPtables are empty. Yet pings still get dropped. Thanks! -- j
