>Description:
I have an Ultrasparc5 working as an NFS server. However, I get no reply when I ping it. It has pf_enable="NO" in rc.conf, and tcpdump shows it is receiving the pings, but does not bother replying to them!

It replies to pings from its own shells.

I had no problem with 5.x on the same hardware.

Interface is hme.

[Appears to have problems serving with apache to other local machines (but can serve to self) as well, but this might be an Apache config problem].
>How-To-Repeat:
if 192.168.0.1 is a Sparc64 running 6.2-PRERELEASE, then, from another machine on the network do:
> ping 192.168.0.1
