Package: psad
Version: 2.0.6-1
Severity: normal

The recent psad upgrade decided to start blocking my AIX boxes because
of their large ping size (even though the content/size was not
malicious).

No problem, I thought, I'll update /etc/psad/snort_rule_dl to include
SIDs 384(ping), and 499 (large packet) with danger level 0:
---------------------------------------------
#384: ICMP PING
384 0;

#499: ICMP Large ICMP Packet
499 0;
--------------------------------------------

I then cleared the currently blocked machines and started psad

Unfortunately, psad still wants to block, for the same two SIDs

For the nonce, I just commented out those two rules in
snort_rules/*icmp* and so far that seems to be doing the trick
