ip6fw problem, ignores "icmptypes 8" (icmp-request)

[Juan Rodriguez Hervella]

Hello:

I'm trying to block IPv6 icmp-request packets which might be sent
to my host. I'm using ip6fw on a FreeBSD-4.9.0-RELEASE.

When I do this:

add 100 deny ipv6-icmp from any to 2001:720:410:100f:20d:9dff:fe46:f2c9 
icmptypes 8

Nothing seems to happen. I still can ping6 my host from a remote machine.

Could someone else try this ?
I think that "icmptypes" isn't working although it's on the man page of ip6fw.

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Bye!
