Did I mention that the ping in inetutils sucks? There is a much better on in the iputils package: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/iputils-ping It is much better for things like scripting where the user can specify things like timeouts, the interface to use, tos bits, ttl, etc. See the man page at http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/ping.8.html The Makefile doesn't have an install, so you have to copy the program and man pages with whatever permissions you want. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
