I was hoping A Kuznetsov would release an official iputils package before the beta process would go too far but it didn't seem to happen so... -ss001110 contains (among a couple of other things) my work so you can set TOS and Precedence bits in the datagrams when you're pinging. Good if you're testing QOS in your network. This patch fixes a few mismerges by Kuznetsov and documents the behaviour a little better. He told me it has been included in the CVS version.
Created attachment 7466 [details] fix a few minor problems in -ss001110
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release
The patch does nothing substantial to the code and doesn't apply cleanly. Deferred until ANK sorts out what's what.
Doh. Upgraded to ss001110, patch apples, built. Thanks for the patch.
