ca46dbbc1c Limit the risk of `buf' overrun in ping.c when printing hostnames.
Note, this is not really a security risk, because the buffer in question
is a static variable in the data segment and not on the stack, and hence
cannot subert the flow of execution in any way.  About the worst case was
that if you pinged a long hostname, ping could coredump.

2350bbf295 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:

Print out summary information on receipt of SIGINFO; also, stop the
kernel printing of information and restore it on exit.  Now, it needs
an option to be quiet. ;)

57ea13e98c Convert to our man installation style. Also fixed long-standing bug
in `fastboot'/`fasthalt' in which the interpreter would hang around
after `reboot' or `halt' is run, causing an irritating ``Killed'' message.
