Re: [SLE] How to turn off ping

Quoting Phil Savoie :

Hi All,

I would like to be able to not have my SuSE 9.1 laptop which hangs off a cable modem not return ping. I have configured through yast the firewall and don't have anything open but according to shields up! I am still returning ping replies. How do I turn it off?

There may be a way to do it thru Yast that does the same thing, but I would just edit /etc/sysconf/SuSEfirewall2 and change FW_ALLOW_PING_FW to "no". Then "rcSuSEfirewall2 restart". HTH, Jeffrey
