Hi Folks,

to test a secure tunnel, ping should be able to set the don't fragment
bit in IP packets. Our ping doesn't allow this. Linsucks does.

Since I never before did any network programming: Is it complicated to
add an option to do so? Either a hint how to program it, or some helpful
soul with the knowledge already in place to take this task?

Thanks in advance
-Christoph Sold
