Mike,
I get a different behavior:
On LinuxMint Nadia (3.5.0-27 kernel, ping utility, iputils-sss20101006),
Debian 6, Oracle linux 5 (kernel 2.6.18), solaris 9, Windows 7, and
Mac OS
10.8 I get:
ping 10.1.2.27, 10.001.2.27, 10.1.002.27 works
ping 10.1.2.027 does this: PING 10.1.2.027 (10.1.2.23) 56(84) bytes of
data.
which is consistent with 027 octal being changed into decimal 23.
I am not sure why the conversion does not happen on the other octets.
Because 02 = 2 and 01 = 1 (octal and decimal are the same for n < 7)?
Urgh! you are right. I will go sit in the corner now.
