RPMs required: Intel: [13]ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/i386/ [14]netkit-base-0.10-31.i386.rpm [15]traceroute-1.4a5-16.i386.rpm Alpha: [16]ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/alpha/ [17]netkit-base-0.10-31.alpha.rpm [18]traceroute-1.4a5-16.alpha.rpm SPARC: [19]ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/sparc/ [20]netkit-base-0.10-31.sparc.rpm [21]netkit-base-0.10-31.sparc.rpm Source: [22]ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.0/SRPMS [23]netkit-base-0.10-31.src.rpm [24]netkit-base-0.10-31.src.rpm 7. Problem description: On the alpha platform, ICMP packets were not correctly interpreted because of a 64 bit long problem. On all platforms, ICMP checksums were incorrectly computed for packet containing an odd number of bytes. In addition, "ping -f localhost" does not drop packets. 8. Solution: You should install the new packages by typing (assuming Red Hat 6.0/i386) rpm -U netkit-base-0.10-31.i386.rpm rpm -U traceroute-1.4a5-16.i386.rpm 9.
