Hello SunRay-Users,

  I got disconnected from my sun ray @ home session once again,
and wondered: if this were an MSTSC or RDesktop session running
from a PC, I'd be able to "traceroute" the server and have a clue
as to why am I disconnected...

  There are many known network authorities on the path (my home,
our town provider, my work's routers), and I'm responsible for
some of these points.

  If something of ours broke down, I can call the juniors to fix
it. If it's the provider's net, I can call them.

  But with a Sun Ray trying to reconnect and simply reporting 22D,
I have no clue except that my home DHCP works (and unless I get a
call from our boss, "Where is my net?" ;)

  Thus, I thought, it would be a nifty feature to have a key combo
in the DTU firmware to enable traceroute (icmp/udp) and/or ping.
Maybe just limited to trace the server it's currently trying, or
passworded away from simple users (as to allow an admin/support
personnel to trace a random type-in host). In the latter case the
password can be flashed like IP/VPN settings in recent firmwares,
perhaps even pushed net-wide (globally or per-DTU) from the SRS.

  Would this be too much of an insecurity to have such a feature?
