Read about iptables or ipchains.
ipfw for fbsd.

Since most people here don't use pmfirewall, you should probably ask this question on the pmfirewall mailing list:

Ye I misread the question.

Google is your friend.

Hi,

add this line to the file (/usr/local/pmfirewall/pmfirewall.rules.local)

$IPCHAINS -A input -b -i $OUTERIF -p icmp -s $REMOTENET -d $OUTERNET -j DENY -l


:D

Almost any operation systems today are immune to ping of death, so I think you don't need to block ICMP just to block ping of death.
