[OpenAFS] ICMP packets

[ted creedon]

Thanks for the lead on Bellovin's book.

I'm getting an "ERROR: Problem at version: wrong type for that item" on port
88 (KRB5). ICMP is not involved. I'm using kaserver.

Other than that everything seems to be working fine.

However, some firewwalls are configured to "throttle" ICMP packets,
as a safeguard to various DOS problems that pop up.  In that case,
it's hard to argue that they are configured "wrong"...  By "hard
to argue", I mean I can talk until I'm blue in the face, but the
person responsible for the firewall is not going to change anything.
