Hi Guys

I have a couple of remote servers (not _actually_ mine) running SUSE 6.1 in 
production. (Please don't bother to tell me to upgrade them. I am aware of 
ALL the issues and so is the owner). Now I need to install fping on these 
boxes, but the media has proven difficult to find. I have tried downloading 
the fping src.rpm file from SUSE 9.0 (The oldest SUSE version I could find 
on the FTP mirrors) but it has numerous macros etc in it which cause it to 
not build properly on 6.1. I do have some SLES8 cds around which will be my 
next try, before attempting to fix the spec file manually (I did try for a 
few minutes, but it turns out that almost ALL of the rpm macros in use 
today, did not exist on SUSE 6.1 so it is proving a huge trial and error 
effort.

If any one has the SUSE 6.1 media kicking around I would appreciate them 
shooting me a copy of the fping source rpm (There are 6.1 - 7.x boxes on the 
network so I will need to build it for a few different versions) or even the 
fping binary rpm.

Thanks in Advance
