some work, we could actually show both, but this focuses on
implementing the hard part (the histogram) properly.

Mac OX S 10.7 compile fixes.

I've attached a patch that's required to be able to compile liboping on
MacOS 10.7 (Lion).  The issue is that the IPv6 API's are changing from
RFC 2292 to 3542, and Apple's headers require you to state which API you
want to use by defining a constant.  I've changed it to use either based
on the presence of constants, but to prefer 3542 on MacOS.

One problem I see with this is that if you have both multicast and
unicast TTL's set, then this won't report both of them, but I'm not sure
if that's even valid and it would require more significant rework.
Also, I noticed you have fixed the IP_RECVTOS issue in head.  That patch
is also required to be able to compile on Solaris and MacOS.

noping: Fix compatibility with ncurses 5.8.

Hello,

My name is Gaetan and I maintain liboping in Arch Linux; our distro is
in the process of switching to ncurses-5.8, and I wanted to report that
I had to patch liboping to make noping work with the newer ncurses.

Specifically, if I update ncurses and run the old noping binary, then
nothing is displayed in the ncurses window (although the summary output
displayed on stdout at the end is correct). Same if I recompile noping
against the new ncurses library.

The reason seems to be that calling newwin() with ncols=0 does not
produce a full width window anymore. Anyway, the simple patch attached
fixed this issue for me.

Cheers.

This tries to solve the read-from-any-file-issue more elegantly by
dropping privileges first thing after start-up and regaining privileges
just to open the sockets.

This has the advantage that the "-f" option is available for all users
again and files are opened according to *their* permissions.

before, i. e. if real and effective user IDs don't match, only "-" may
be specified as input file.
