Hi Guys
Hi Peter,
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.
Well... the first time I installed SuSE was the 6.2 version but, I couldn't find the media. The best I can get you is the 7.2 rpm and src.rpm version of fping... If you want them you can get it at http://www.rusiantos.com/~rsantos/fping72/ Also, in that directory, there's also a static version of the fping binary and man page...
Thanks in Advance
Hope it helps.
