I agree completely. By now you've hopefully seen my updated patch which
gives just
this functionality.
It is no longer a kernel option. Now you can just do a:
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses
... to stop the messages from appearing. Naturally, it defaults to "off"
which is
the current default kernel behaviour.
If you have any other ideas I would much appreciate hearing them.
Tris.
