- The attached patch (1st Attachment) was done against upstream's CVS at Sourceforge but applies flawlessly to the unpacked tarball in rpmbuild. - Because the attached patch is generic against upstream, it contains some additions which are not needed on Fedora, because on Fedora the regular ping command can handle both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. (It introduces a new config var named 'PingPath6' which gets selected, if the target is an IPv6-host). On Fedora, this new config var can simply point to the same like the 'PingPath' var. On the other hand, Fedora provides ping6 as well and it does not hurt to set it to /usr/bin/ping6. Cheers -Fritz
Thanks for the patch.
