Passive-only master still pinging

[Mike Lindsey]

In about a month I'll be getting an official request to have freshness 
checking turned on, with all the commands being something like:

echo "Stale check!";exit 2

So, unfortunately ensuring that the master never ever accidentally runs 
a check is important, even beyond the current issue of hosts without routes.
