Hi.. Groups,  FYI, I have syslog turned on. In fact, I found some IDS alarm 
message in my syslog (as shown below) when I ping from 
100.198.165.199(inside) to 192.168.3.21(outside). I feel this is 
unneccessary IDS alarm. But when I do a portscan on my PIX inside IP 
(100.198.167.201), it doesn't give me any alarm.

Dec 12 11:22:31 100.198.167.201 Dec 12 2002 04:05:49: %PIX-4-400014: 
IDS:2004 ICMP echo request from 100.198.165.199 to 192.168.3.21 on interface 
inside

Dec 12 11:22:31 100.198.167.201 Dec 12 2002 04:05:49: %PIX-4-400010: 
IDS:2000 ICMP echo reply from 192.168.3.21 to 192.168.3.101 on interface 
outside

I think PIX IDS is really not that good

Thanks and Regards
Kenny
