I am trying to apply this security measure to avoid
ping sweeps. I am trying to  disable replying to ICMP
ECHO REQUEST. First, how do i get this done when I am
not running xinetd or inetd? Second, when I run xinetd
"i got rid of inetd" it still responds to pings from
other machines even when I went to the folder
/etc/xinetd.d and edited the echo and echo-udp files
to be disabled. I even commented their entire content
and still when i run the ping command from another
computer with my IP, my machine still responds. I
would appreciate your help...

Thanks a lot          Roberto Armenteros
