hi there,
in the file
ping/ping_echo.c
(from inetutils-1.4.2) lines 422 & 423 print out the values of the source and
destination IP addresses for the current ping when the -v flag is given on the
command line (and in my case ICMP_HOST_UNREACH existed).
i was recently pinging a machine on my local network and found that the printed
source and destination IP addresses were the same (they are most certainly not),
i thought this might have been a problem with my setup, but testing with the
(BSD??) netkit-base release of ping (which i see this code is clearly from), i
noticed that it works correctly. unfortunately i was not able to find or fix
this problem as i cannot even see where ip->ip_dst is being set anywhere in the
code, but it is clear that there is a problem somewhere. is this bug easily
fixed?
cheers,
Sam
