Greetings,

Trying to replicate some functionality with PF that I had with a cisco
asa.  I'm trying to explicitly allow echo requests outbound and only echo
replies inbound but it's not working.  Here's my current rules for this,
but I can't ping anything beyond the external interface though.

pass out quick on egress inet proto icmp icmp-type echoreq no state
pass in quick on egress inet proto icmp icmp-type echorep no state
block quick on egress inet proto icmp all

If I remove the 'no state' part, I can ping, but I don't need the second
line which I don't really understand why I don't.   So I guess my questions
are, why does the above ruleset not work, and why does it work if I remove
'no state' or use default of keep state but comment out the second rule?
Shouldn't the echoreply packets be getting blocked on the way back in?

What am I missing?  Do i need to do something with NAT's?

Thanks
