Well, I saw this message in the smokeping archives and when I started  
tracking it down I found multiple of the related links to possible  
fping patches to it to be dead or erroring (and the mentioned  
"contrib" download link for fping does not appear to exist).

I did some other searches that led me to this:
	<http://unfix.org/projects/ipv6/fping-2.4b2_to-ipv6.tar.gz>

that seems to have a differing syntax.

Does anyone have a current/working/tested link to an fping patch such  
as the one alluded to that is the what smokeping was referencing when  
the sourceaddress option was added ("-S sourceIP" option for fping)?


Thanks,
