Good luck. All it takes is a user to port, transfere, compile, copy, 
move or hack in a ping command of their own. Any languages could be 
used, PERL, PHP, Python and much more.

Your other option is to administratively block any and all traffic that 
might be created via the ping command so that it just gets dropped by 
the firewall. Of course there might be other ways around that too.

HTH and good luck.
