Most of what I've seen are reset configs on network gear, standalone devices (printers), and the occasional win 98 box 
with network addons.
We put blocks in place for ntp, SNMP for a short time to get things under control. Chargen was so small it was easier 
to just alert folks directly.

HTH.

Cheers,
Harry

Blocking chargen at the edge doesn't seem to be outside of the realm of 
possibilities. 

What systems are (a) still have chargen enabled and (b) common enough to make 
it a viable DDoS vector?  Just wondering if I need to go around and find 
users of mine that need to be smacked around with a large trout....
