i tried your ping on a debian woody i386 and it doesn't work again: there are two packages with ping for debian one in iputils-ping ( which has ping for ipv6 ) one in netkit-ping the ping in iputils-ping packages is more like "redhattish" ( broadcast ? then ping -b .... ARGHHH ) and it gives to user the capability to set ICMP packet size with -s . with the other packages ( a normal ping ) you can't if you aren't root to set your icmp packet size even it's suid root . ( and that to answer to ping flooding as user thread ) . none of the two "ping " give me DOS or kernel bug ( i tried on 2.2.16 and 2.4.0-test4 ) . i can suggest you to rm you old ping and use this one from debian cee ya samuele -- Samuele Tonon <samu () mclink it> Undergraduate Student of Computer Science at University of Bologna, Italy System administrator at Computer Science Lab's, University of Bologna, Italy Founder & Member of A.A.H.T.
