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

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!
