check_rta (next check_icmp) + public key

[Andreas Ericsson]

Ahoy all.

To all those who have tested and commented on check_rta, thanks.

I've fixed the SIGSEGV crash (I think, at least I can't reproduce it on 
my own system any more), and some timing issues causing check_rta to 
time out prematurely with an obscene packet loss even in close quarters.

Inspired by the check_traceroute (or check_route, I don't remember) perl 
plugin, I've also added an -l flag to specify time-to-live on outgoing 
packets. It accepts an empty value, so it should work nicely for 
checking redundant lines (and hosts) in Nagios 2.0.

The latest version is available from the usual places;
https://devel.op5.se/oss
http://oss.op5.se/nagios

For those of you who have offered me access to Solaris and *BSD boxes, 
I've attached my public SSH-key. The following commands should work to 
allow me in without a password.
useradd -m exon
mkdir ~exon/.ssh
cp id_dsa.pub ~exon/.ssh/authorized_keys
chown exon:exon -R ~exon/.ssh
chmod 700 -R ~exon/.ssh

Send me a private email with the hostname/ip-address when you're done. 
I'd like to spend this day testing everything out so it can be in the 
1.4-release of the plugins and we can finally get rid of check_ping and 
the likes.
