Description of problem: Currently, neither ping nor ping6 provide IDN (umlaut domains) support, I've worked out a small patch adding this feature. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): iputils-20070202-1 How reproducible: Everytime, try "ping dänic.de" for example. Actual results: No IDN (umlaut domains) support in ping and ping6. Expected results: IDN support in ping and ping6 for more usability like at traceroute, jwhois, Mozilla Firefox and Opera for example. Additional info: My patch isn't that sane and the definement should be moved somewhere else, but I'm sending this patch to upstream to. Adding this patch requires libidn-devel as additional build requirement, as long as getaddrinfo() is used always (!) in favour over gethostbyname().
