I have inserted this ipfw rule, based on guidance from the archives:

count icmp from any to any icmptype 4,5,9,10,12,13,14,15,16,17,18

Now, I am watching that count rule, and it keeps growing.  This means that
people are sending me packets other than types 0,3,8,11.

So I wanted to see what they were:

tcpdump -vvv -n | grep -v echo | grep -v unreach | grep -v exceeded

and I let that run for hours and hours and hours - and during that time,
the counter continued to grow and grow, but my screen where I was running
tcpdump stayed blank - I never saw a single packet.

So how is it that the counter for the above rule can grow and grow and
grow, but I never see a single ICMP message that says anything besides
"echo", "unreach" or "exceeded" ?

thanks.
