FW_ALLOW_PING_FW is enabled by default so ICMP echo works by default.
FW_ALLOW_PING_DMZ and FW_ALLOW_PING_EXT have a different purpose, see their
description in the config file.
The purpose of dropping packages is to slow down port scans and not to hide the
machine (which is impossible). The default therefore stays at DROP.
