History
David Greenman 6e1173dc29 In past releases of FreeBSD, I have used the exit status of "ping" to 
determine whether a connection to a given machine is up or not.

In FreeBSD 2.0 (and therefore, I assume, BSD 4.4) the exit code of ping
is always zero, even if no packets were received.

I would like to propose the following change to /usr/src/sbin/ping/ping.c
to restore this useful behaviour:
