net tools

Hi folks,

Where is the site for downloading the tarballs of ping, netstat, ifconfig, etc. commands. Is sing replacing ping command?

TIA

You should already have all of this. What distro are you using? I've never heard of 'sing'.

Hi psic,

I'm building BLFS 6.1. It has

Net-tools-1.60
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs...net-tools.html

which is quite complete but without "ping' command or maybe some others. So I start to search them.

They've given the links, haven't they? Aren't they working?

Once you install the net-tools package, you should have the following installed:
arp, dnsdomainname, domainname, hostname, ifconfig, ipmaddr, iptunnel, mii-tool, nameif, netstat, nisdomainname, plipconfig, rarp, route, slattach, and ypdomainname

You should also install the package iputils, which should have the one ping... (which is in the land of Redmond, where the shadows lie, )

Hi psic,

Tks for your advice.

I have following packages downloaded;
iputils_20020927.orig.tar.gz
ping-1.0-1.tar.bz2
tcpip-0.17-i486-31.tgz

Will the tools provided by "iputils_20020927.orig.tar.gz" crossing that of net-tools which is running on the box. If YES, whether there will be conflict?

I'm not sure whther "ping-1.0-1.tar.bz2" is the command which I'm searching. I just download it from "Tuxfind" website.

I don't think there should be a conflict, just try installing the iputils package. In Kanotix (debian based), I see three iputils packages:
iputils-arping
iputils-ping
iputils-tracepath

I think your iputils probably has all three.
