Btw, why can't 'ping' support IPv6? I know there is a tradition to have a ping6 tool for IPv6, but it seems preferable to add support for IPv6 straight into ping. Is there anything that makes this impossible or awkward to implement? I don't know. Is it "easy" to detect IPv6 vs. IPv4? If so, maybe it would be possible. The might hold for any other FOO vs. FOO6 utilities we might have. It is a good idea though, would cut down on the common code duplicated between the two. _______________________________________________ bug-inetutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-inetutils
