OK, I think I follow you. So if I wanted to create a remote FPing probe where you could specify rhosts per target it would have to derive from basefork rather than base? That in turn I suspose would make it do multiple remote logins if I used the same rhost multiple times under different targets, which would be ineffecient. Am I right?
