Date: Wed, 22 Jan 1997 16:19:06 EST
From: Derek Atkins <warlord@MIT.EDU>
System name: bart-savagewood
Type and version: SPARC/Classic 8.0J (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: cgthree
What were you trying to do?
ping a machine, to see if BBNPlanet has fixed their
network problem.
What's wrong:
ping segfaults:
Ready> ping -s www.irs.ustreas.gov
PING www.irs.ustreas.gov: 56 data bytes
Segmentation fault
Ready> where ping
/usr/sbin/ping
/afs/net/tools/@sys/ping
If I run ping out of the net-tools locker, it works:
Ready> /afs/net/tools/@sys/ping www.irs.ustreas.gov

What should have happened:
/usr/sbin/ping should have worked, and should not have segfaulted.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
insert standard reasons why setuid programs shouldn't fail....
