Greetings!

Новая версия IPUtils (20020124) находится на altair:/user/incoming/ab/:

iputils-20020124-alt1.src.rpm
iputils-20020124-alt1.i586.rpm

Изменения со времени последней версии:
* Michal Kochanowicz <michal@michal.waw.pl> typos in tracepath.8
* Michael Wardle <michael.wardle@adacel.com>: undo silly change of ss000305
  (printing rtt in some funny units). Michael noticed that "sec" is not
  standard abbreviation for time units (bullshit, of course), but real concern
  is that it is more difficult to interpret with a neglibible improvement
  to appearance. So, do this as expected: in "ms".
* Documentation. Wow! I did it. man pages are disassembled to docbook,
  audited wrt real state, edited... and promised to be maintained
  in sync with the state of utilities.
* Utz Bacher <utz.bacher@de.ibm.com> Bitops in ping6 were wrong
  on bigendian machines. Wow, luckily I forgot to acknowledge that patch
  of 010805 which has gotten rid of kernel bitops and did this so wrongly.
* Michael Bakunin <bakunin@maphiasoft.org> (:-))
  found mud in tftpd.c, it will crash when directory supplied in argument
  is longer ~512 symbols.
* Alexandr D. Kanevskiy <kad@blackcatlinux.com>: buffer overflow
  in clockdiff. Very stupid one, the overflowed buffer even was not used. :-)
* Alexandr D. Kanevskiy <kad@blackcatlinux.com>: shit! Code recognizing
  kernels with broken IP_RECVERR for raw sockets depended on race
  and accused even good kernel of being buggy. :-)
* Stepan Koltsov <yozh@mx1.ru>, tracepath/tracepth6 segfaulted when
  used without address.
* Alexandr D. Kanevskiy <kad@blackcatlinux.com>: arping printed
  "permission denied" instead of showing help page to non-superuser.

В частности, больше не напоминает про старость ядра и не замерзает при
использовании опции -c и несуществующего хоста.
