My 2d worth, disabling Ping doesn't make the machine much harder to find, and it makes diagnosing problems much harder - in other words, IMHO speaking as a networking guy that regularly has to diagnose problems AND as a sysadmin, disabling Ping does at least as much harm as it does good. YMMV, that's my opinion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems?
