    Normally I'd agree, but auth (113) is a special case due to how it is
    used. As previously stated certain mail systems will try an auth
    connection. Also, certain eBanking systems will do the same. Simply
    dropping these connection will result in these services not working
    correctly. So, you should either send a RST or ICMP unreachable.
