ping -c 1 host does not timeout. It sends off packets after the first packet. When the host doesn't respond to the only packet I asked ping to send, ping should timeout and respond that host is not available.
What version of netkit-base are you using? The machine that i used to verigy this problem has netkit-base-0.10-35 which doesnt seem to have this problem. If you want to try this newer version it can be obtained at: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/rawhide/i386/rawhide/RedHat/RPMS/netkit-base-0.10-35.i386.rpm The problem may have been fixed in this newer package.
