Turn off replies to ICMP echo requests for broadcast and multicast
addresses by default. Add a knob "icmp_bmcastecho" to "rc.network" to allow this behaviour to be controlled from "rc.conf". Document the controlling sysctl variable "net.inet.icmp.bmcastecho" in sysctl(3). Reviewed by: dg, jkh Reminded on -hackers by: Steinar Haug <sthaug@nethelp.no>
