Hi,

   I'm having one hell of a time staying on IRC because some idiot decided to
nuke/snuke me off.  I popped onto my 1.3.94 system which is outside my domain
and added in a few Firewall rules, specifically:

ipfwadm -F -a deny -P icmp -S topaz.kern.com -D 0.0.0.0 -o
ipfwadm -F -a rej  -P icmp -S topaz.kern.com -D 0.0.0.0 -o

Both rules are listed in the output of "ipfwadm -F -l -x".  My kernel is
compiled with firewalling enabled, along with verbosity.

In short, it hasn't stopped the attack at all! :(

Have I got it misconfigured somehow?

   Mike was here...
