I really hate the fact there is so many stupid admins who would block ICMP because they think its evil, while they dont see the overwhelming goodness in a protocol like ICMP. I dont think they even know what it stands for and what its for, I noticed a lot of the mailservers are Postfix or (s)eXchange. One would have thought that at least the Linux admins would known what they are doing. Although it possible that a number of them are caused by the infamous Cisco PIX bug. Petr
