Trying out the new block return/drop rules the other day, I was
pleasantly surprised to discover that UDP /and/ ICMP packets elicit
an ICMP destination unreachable packet on matching a ``drop return''
rule, despite the ICMP being included in the, ``and all other packets
are dropped silently,'' description of the return function in the
manpage. I also want to compliment the developers on implementing
the block return/drop syntax as it allows for a cleaner ruleset.
