[13:24] maybe [16:07] you ping 1.2 too it seems [16:07] this 1.1.1.1 thing made me learn about 9.9.9.9 [16:42] ping: no address associated with name [17:43] *** kevr is now known as `0000000000 [17:43] *** `0000000000 is now known as `100101011100101 [17:43] *** `100101011100101 is now known as kevr [18:02] ping 1.2 \\ PING 1.2 (1.0.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data. \\ 64 bytes from 1.0.0.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=57 time=10.6 ms [18:03] mike-burns: what were you trying to ping?

[18:03] Oh huh. [18:04] I wonder whether they re-wrote ... something. [18:05] Works on 6.0 [18:05] * brycec has a 6.1 host around here somewhere..... [18:06] 6.1 fails [18:06] Maybe that happened when they merged ping6(8) into ping(8). [18:07] 6.1 still has ping6 separated (at least as commands go) [18:07] (oh they're hardlinked to the same binary) [18:07] Right yeah. [18:07] That might be it. [18:07] "ping(8) and ping6(8) are now the same binary and share the engine." https://www.openbsd.org/61.html [18:08] http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sbin/ping/ping.c.diff?r1=1.212&r2=1.213 - found it. [18:08] <3 you for finding that mike-burns [18:08] http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sbin/ping/ping.c?rev=1.213&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup - better link. [18:08] Eh neither link is perfect. [18:09] "Only allow standard dot notation for IPv4 addresses." :/ [18:09] Is "1.0" not standard dot notation? [18:09] Are you about to make me read an RFC? [18:09] lol no [18:10] I have a hard time believing that "standard dot notation" is an RFC term. [18:11] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-decimal_notation seems to be buried in that [18:11] Dot-decimal notation :: Dot-decimal notation is a presentation format for numerical data. It consists of a string of decimal numbers, each pair separated by a full stop (dot). A common use of dot-decimal notation is in information technology where it is a method of writing numbers in octet-grouped base-10 (decimal) numbers separated by dots (full stops). In computer networking, Internet Protocol Version 4 addresses are commonly written using... [18:13] So basically it's an "intermediate representation" that inet_aton was nice enough to decode [18:13] "it also supported intermediate syntax forms of octet.24bits (e.g. 10.1234567; for Class A addresses) and octet.octet.16bits (e.g. 172.16.12345; for Class B addresses)" [18:15] Ah yeah, right in the manpage -- you can pass a, a.b, a.b.c, or a.b.c.d to inet_aton(3). [18:15] I'm still boggled to read materials from a time when the Internet (address allocations etc) could be documented in a short RFC https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc790 [18:15] (Yeah, I'm "young", not yet 32 :P ) [18:16] I love short RFCs. [18:17] I was hoping to find a post on tech@ but alas, nothing. I wonder where those OKs came from ... [18:58] ICB I assume [18:58] Must be. [18:58] How secretive.
