Bastille - IPTables

[sromine]

Once again turning to good ole' tek-tips to help me with a problem.....

Issue: Is there a way to allow pings from a certain host, but block all others?

More Info: I have a Nagios network monitoring utility that pings hosts and lets me know what is up or down.....on a particular webserver I recently installed Bastille hardening utility, which is now blocking any pings to this server.

Anyone know how to change the settings within Bastille to allow either all pings or specific pings, or even better, know the IPTable rule to allow pings only from a certain IP.....

Thanks for any help.....

This SHOULD (bit out of touch) help

iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -i eth0 -s [i]nagios_server_ip[/i] -j ACCEPT
