Hi,

    I'm reviewing all the rules in my firewall. I have a couple of old rules
that don't seem to make sense any longer.

Rule1   =    any_host     any_destination     long_icmp    drop.  This rule was
put in a long time ago for the Ping of Death DOS attack. We are running fw1 vers
4.0sp5  on Solaris 2.6. Do I still need this rule?

Rule 2  states that  my Web server and dns,smtp  server located in the DMZ can
do "ident" with any host. Why would I need  this?

Thankyou.
