Description Need Real Name 2000-02-10 11:29:07 UTC 
netkit-base-0.10-37 on RH61:

192.168.100.103 is on the air and 192.168.100.105 is switched off.

ping -c 1 192.168.100.103 ; echo $?
0
ping -c 1 192.168.100.105 ; echo $?
0

Both give exit status 0, but the ping to the machine that is switched off
should give '1' as exit status.

Richard.
