            Bug ID: 239724
           Summary: The ping command doesn't randomize ICMP timestamps and

ping(8) patch

The current implementation of ping(8) doesn't randomized ICMP timestamps. T=
he
attached patch addresses this. Due to the applied randomized offset the sys=
tem
time isn't guessable for an attacker and OS detection is nearly impossible.

This change was inspired by OpenBSDs ping(8) implementation.
