           Summary: net/fping: Avoid ident collisions
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest

We have a busy nagios server and its not unusual for there to be 200 fping's
running simultaneously. Since fping derives the ident it puts in the outbou=
nd
packet to from the low 16 bits of the process id, we see collisions.

Here's a github pull request that fixes this issue:

If I create a patch for the fping port to make this change would you prefer=
 a
patch an an optional patch?
