The man page for ping is also for ping6. http://clfs.org/~kb0iic/patches/iputils-s20121221-fixes-3.patch Sincerely, William Harrington -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
