Hello,

In AIX 4.3.3 or 5.2, how do you configure so it doesn't respond to remote pings?

I have seen suggestions like "no -o bcastping=0" but this didn't work.

Thanks.

1. Configure IPSec on your machine (must be on your discs from AIX 4.3 and up).
2. Create an IP rule to drop icmp echo_request packets.



I hope it works...
