New: net/poink

poink is a non-suid version of ping. It's used in quite many places and I find it quite useful. From the README:

"Not much to say... This is nosuid, so absolutely secure, version of ping utility. It uses dirty trick - TCP linear syn/rst challenge instead of ICMP echo/echo reply. It won't allow any flood-pings, security compromises etc ;-)"

It only supports three options (-i, -c, -t), though.

The port is at http://arturs.iidea.pl/poink.tar.gz The original version replaced normal ping. I changed it so that both the binary as well as the man page have the name of the package.
The only change in the source was removing a reference to getopt.h.

Regards,
Artur
