Is there a way that I can keep people from pinging my box. I looked in the inetd.conf file and saw echo commented out. But my box is still replying to icmp requests. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
man ipchains will show you lots of fun things to stop people connecting to your box.. Just set up a little firewall to stop your box replying to icmp requests..
