I'd like to learn about Pings. I did a port scan test and all my ports are in stealth mode, but my system responded to pings and the test results said that was a security risk. If that's true, how do I make it not respond to pings? Is there a SIMPLE way to do this? I'm scared to go mucking about in iptables. A little info on my setup: I'm using PCLOS (based on Mandrake) and the Shorewall firewall, on a standalone box with a DSL modem/router. I'm not running any servers. I have the software firewall in the modem turned off because it was screwing some things up.
