Hi,
Can anyone advise a straightforward way of disabling ping reply and logging incoming pings, so you'll get in /var/log/messages, IP addresses of little hackers trying to check if your host is up? I don't want to change the server to private mode.
I was thinking of something like this...(someone please correct the errors for me)
/sbin/ipchains -A input -l -i $OUTERIF -p icmp -s 0/0 echo-request -j denylog
But where's the best place to put it so I don't lose it at reboot?
Many thanks in advance.
