pingd >> Should it be ported on Debian??

[Stefan Srdic <linuxbox@telusplanet.net>]

I've found a very cool website thats security focussed. ( www.nmrc.org )

Anyway, the author of the site is working on a security focussed OS
based on Linux.  One of the "improvements" that he has made was a ping
deamon wich can be controlled via the TCP wrappers.

***look under the patches section***

A deamon like this sounds very interresting, but would it be worth the
increased latency in ICMP traffic? Also, could it be easily ported onto
an existing Debian system?

I just though I'd ask a few questions before sitting down for a hack
session :-)
