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 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo! Greetings! http://greetings.yahoo.com
