Comment:
I'm not sure how to handle this. The arping and rdisc programs are in a
package iputils-ss020927.tar.gz (118K 27-Sep-2002). This package also
provides sevaral other utilities: clockdiff, ipg, ping, ping6, rarpd,
tftpd, tracepath, tracepath6, and traceroute6.
In my opinion, the ping in iputils is superior to the one in inetutils.
This is an LFS ticket, but iputils would need to go into BLFS, probably in
System Utilities.
Building iputils, the Makefile says it requires the kernel source, but it
doesn't use it.
We could put a comment in IPRoute2 that the ifcfg script requires arping
and rdisc from the iputils package and a link (either to the iputils
source or BLFS).
