This may or may not have already been discussed on this list but i just recently joined it and have a question about linux and "nuke". Is anything being done to prevent the ability to "nuke" linux machines, in the sense of lets say knocking a user off a irc server sending a spoofed ICMP unreachable? Because i know with all Linux versions I have used up to and including 2.0.23 i can easily "nuke" myself or anyone else off if a irc server or otherwise using a program called snuke.c, the only way i have been able to prevent the ability of others to "nuke" me is to use ipfwadm to deny icmp's to port 3 (-S 0/0 3).
Sorry if i do not have my terminology down pact but i hope atleast one person on this list follows me, hehe :)
Thanks, Zachary Maas
Ps. once again my apologizes if this subject has already been discussed and beaten into the ground on this list.
