Hello, It appears that the manpage for ping(8) isn't being compiled correctly as in the options section, it reads: ... -B Do not allow ping to change source address of probes. The address is bound to one selected when ping starts. Stop after sending count ECHO_REQUEST ... -V Show version and exit. Specify a timeout, in seconds, before ping exits regardless of how many packets have been sent ... When it should have "-c" and "-w" before "Stop" and "Specify," respectively. I don't really read SGML, but it appears that the option to include the missing parameters simply isn't enabled as part of the build process. Thanks, -- David J.
