- document that if you use -p to specify a fill pattern you need to
make the packets bigger with -s;
- warn if -p is used and there's not at least one byte of fill space.

small or wildly too large intervals, but it did allow intervals that
failed at poll(). Since that's signed integer overflow and thus UB,
better not to.
2nd packet and subsequent packets are sent based on SIGALRM and
it depends on poll(2) returns with EINTR by the signal. However,
currently poll is rump-ified while signals aren't so the signal
doesn't wake up poll and ping6 doesn't work expectedly.
Rump-ifying signals is unsure (nobody does it for now) and the
combination use of signals and poll makes the logic a bit complex.
So let's fix the defect by stopping using signals for packet
transmissions. The new logic is derived from ping(8).
Bonus: ping6 -i 0.01 works as we expect now while the original
didn't work enough fast.
It exited with status 0 when at least one packet was received
and timed out. However, when we specify -c N (while N > 0),
we expect that it fails if it times out before all sent requests
are replied.

packets have already sent because of the preload count handling, we
shouldn't start off by sending another one right away. The reversed
test causes ping6 to wait one interval before sending anything at all
if you don't use -l. PR bin/39732.
FORTIFY_SOURCE feature of libssp, thus checking the size of arguments to
various string and memory copy and set functions (as well as a few system
calls and other miscellany) where known at function entry. RedHat has
evidently built all "core system packages" with this option for some time.
This option should be used at the top of Makefiles (or Makefile.inc where
this is used for subdirectories) but after any setting of LIB.
This is only useful for userland code, and cannot be used in libc or in
any code which includes the libc internals, because it overrides certain
libc functions with macros. Some effort has been made to make USE_FORT=yes
work correctly for a full-system build by having the bsd.sys.mk logic
disable the feature where it should not be used (libc, libssp iteself,
the kernel) but no attempt has been made to build the entire system with
USE_FORT and doing so will doubtless expose numerous bugs and misfeatures.
Adjust the system build so that all programs and libraries that are setuid,
directly handle network data (including serial comm data), perform
authentication, or appear likely to have (or have a history of having)
data-driven bugs (e.g. file(1)) are built with USE_FORT=yes by default,
with the exception of libc, which cannot use USE_FORT and thus uses
only USE_SSP by default. Tested on i386 with no ill results; USE_FORT=no
per-directory or in a system build will disable if desired.
for non-related samples. There are several websites that explain why we
should use this form instead of the normal formula to compute the std. dev.
(Wikipedia is one of them).
Also, ping(8) (where this "new" formula came from) already does it this way
so, I'm trying to score some extra points by making both utilities behave
the same way.
Thanks to wrtstuden@ for the initial clarification.
* RFC 3542 isn't binary compatible with RFC 2292.
* RFC 2292 support is on by default but can be disabled.
* update ping6, telnet and traceroute6 to the new API.
