Target keywords: amd64 ppc x86 Test procedure: FEATURES=-test emerge (compile-test only)
net-analyzer/poink-2.03 compiled on amd64 1) Emerges 2) No Collisions 3) Compiled. Although this was a compile test only, I'd like to mention poink couldn't ping any servers I tried, while ping could. It timed out on all the servers I tried.

thanks guys, you picked up a signedness-of-char bug. Upstream's code assumed that char was signed, which it was on the box I used poink on, but isn't always the case. I patched it now, you can retest pinging other machines if you want. # poink 172.16.9.1 Nosuid TCP/IP ping 2.03 by <mmazur@kernel.pl> Pinging 172.16.9.1 (1.9.16.172) - delay 1 sec(s), timeout 5 sec(s) Ping reply from 1.9.16.172: seq=1 time=1.571 msec Ping reply from 1.9.16.172: seq=2 time=146 usec Ping reply from 1.9.16.172: seq=3 time=193 usec Ping reply from 1.9.16.172: seq=4 time=200 usec --- 1.9.16.172 ping statistics --- 4 packet(s) transmitted, 4 received, 0% loss, 0 error(s), time 3533ms round-trip statistics min/avg/max: 0.146/0.527/1.571 msec (146/527/1571 usec)
pinging IPs works now, hostnames still don't work though

pinging hostnames listed in /etc/hosts works, but anything that needs to be resolved doesn't same thing in my x86 chroot, so it doesn't seem amd64 specific
No version marked stable for ppc as of now, as long as no user is requesting this keywording to be made we won't stable this package.

removing amd64 from CC because of comment #1, we'll stabilize this as soon as a user asks for it
robbat2, what will we do with this stable request? Is there anything to be fixed or should we move on?
It works and resolves hostnames fine for me: # poink slashdot.org Nosuid TCP/IP ping 2.03 by <mmazur@kernel.pl> Pinging slashdot.org (66.35.250.150) - delay 1 sec(s), timeout 5 sec(s) While pinging 66.35.250.150: seq=1 Destination host unreachable While pinging 66.35.250.150: seq=2 Destination host unreachable --- 66.35.250.150 ping statistics --- 2 packet(s) transmitted, 0 received, 100% loss, 2 error(s), time 1853ms round-trip statistics min/avg/max: (not available due to 100% packet loss) That's on an Core2Duo ~amd64 box.
(In reply to comment #11) > While pinging 66.35.250.150: seq=1 Destination host unreachable That's not what I consider as "works"
Well ok, I just tested it with normal ping, slashdot.org seems to not answer pings, so testing it with slashdot.org is a bit meaningless. Here's what happens if I ping google.com: 64 bytes from jc-in-f99.google.com (64.233.187.99): icmp_seq=1 ttl=244 time=134 ms and here's what happens if I poink google.com: While pinging 64.233.187.99: seq=1 No ping reply within 5 second(s) Same thing when poinking google.com's IP. And just one other test result - when poinking my router: While pinging 10.0.0.1: seq=1 No ping reply within 5 second(s) I really, really doubt that my router is unreachable :P
That's the same output I get from normally pinging slashdot.org. tcpdump during the poink and ping: # tcpdump -i eth1 icmp -n 17:15:58.162745 IP 66.35.250.150 > 172.16.9.4: ICMP host 66.35.250.150 unreachable - admin prohibited, length 68 Here's another DNS-lookup poink for you then. # poink isohunt.com Nosuid TCP/IP ping 2.03 by <mmazur@kernel.pl> Pinging isohunt.com (208.71.112.30) - delay 1 sec(s), timeout 5 sec(s) Ping reply from 208.71.112.30: seq=1 time=79.151 msec Ping reply from 208.71.112.30: seq=2 time=113 msec Ping reply from 208.71.112.30: seq=3 time=67.741 msec Ping reply from 208.71.112.30: seq=4 time=80.374 msec Ping reply from 208.71.112.30: seq=5 time=92.389 msec Ping reply from 208.71.112.30: seq=6 time=68.142 msec --- 208.71.112.30 ping statistics --- 6 packet(s) transmitted, 6 received, 0% loss, 0 error(s), time 6270ms round-trip statistics min/avg/max: 67.741/83.517/113.302 msec
angelos: do you maybe have a overly restrictive firewall on your machine?
I don't have any firewall at all, my only firewall is my router and that one doesn't block anything either And it wouldn't make much sense if a firewall would block poink but not ping :p btw, poinking isohunt.com fails too, again "No ping reply within 5 second(s)"
poink sends some unique TCP packets, not ICMP. can you test from a box not behind your router? I'm pretty certain that the Cisco routers that had the ECN packet-drop behavior would drop poink packets too.
Can't test it on a pc that's not behind a router atm, but I can tell you what's in side the logs of the router when executing poink isohunt.com: [Mon, 2007-07-02 17:54:08] - TCP Packet - Source:10.0.0.2,44230 ,LAN - Destination:208.71.112.30,65535 ,WAN [Forward] - [Outbound Default rule match] So the outgoing packets are not dropped, not quite sure if there's an inbound package supposed to be logged - at least when using ping there is: [Mon, 2007-07-02 17:56:22] - ICMP Packet[Echo Request] - Source:10.0.0.2,LAN - Destination:208.71.112.30,WAN [Forward] - [Outbound Default rule match] [Mon, 2007-07-02 17:56:22] - ICMP Packet[Echo Reply] - Source:208.71.112.30,WAN - Destination:87.122.11.173,LAN [Forward] - [session exists]
angelos: are there any machines in your LAN you can test against? Since we know that the DNS resolution part works (it just goes gethostbyname). if not, i'll see about arranging a test where I can tcpdump on the remote side any traffic coming from your IP if you'll disclose it. I still strongly suspect that your router is not playing nicely with you.
Okay, pinging hosts in my LAN works (even when going through the router and not just the next switch). I'd still like to have ken (one of our ATs who had the same problem) to take a look at it before stabilizing though
I still can't ping any websites with Poink. Everything times out. I do not have a router, I directly connect via a modem. It fails with my firewalls off and on (nothing shows up in shorewall as being blocked either). I've only been able to ping a very limited amount of hosts with poink. Is it possible that most webserver configurations drop the type of packet poink uses to ping?
ken: Poink specifically starts at a high port number, tries to connect, and looks for the success or certain error packets coming back. On failure (no useful response), it shifts the port number it's trying to use. Does using poink to isohunt.com work for you?
Well, I'm not Kenneth, but I use this a bit already. Pinging isohunt.com works fine. I know my firewall is fine(two NATs). I would like to mention that not *all* hosts work with poink. While pinging isohunt.com works, google.com doesn't. I don't think it is anything wrong with the program itself, but maybe the other hosts.
Now even I get it...here goes x86.
Poinking IsoHunt does work. You say that it is designed to see error packets but most firewalls I've seen are set to drop the packets silently not reject them. Could that be why most hosts are not poinkable?
yes, just like regular ping, poink is affected by the firewall on the other side. The behavior of dropping bad packets wasn't all that common until a few years ago. somebody should add an option to specify what TCP port to start off with for the checking, instead of the default 65535.
ok then, amd64 stable too
