[illumos-Developer] Moving /usr/sbin/ping out of pkg:/network/ftp

[Joshua M. Clulow]

Hi folks,

SUNWbip (Basic IP utilities) has only contained /usr/bin/ftp and
/usr/sbin/ping for some time. It was renamed to pkg:/network/ftp which
essentially hides the fact that it contains an unrelated utility -
ping.

/usr/sbin/traceroute is currently delivered in SUNWcs so I propose
moving /usr/sbin/ping from network/ftp to SUNWcs for the time being.
If/when SUNWcs is split up in the future both ping and traceroute can
hopefully go to the same home (as similar ICMP/network diag utilities)
wherever that may be.
