To all those who picked up the network exercising stuff from
lambda.lanl.gov.

I gave you a bum [ls]srr.sh.  Due to my lack of understanding how
BSD4.3 handles the loose/strict source route option on output, the lsrr
and ssrr scripts are in error.  It is not intuitive that BSD UNIX will
strip off the first address in the option to use as a destination,
ignoring the destination requested via an open system call.  I have another
script 'sr' which takes the above into account.  For example:

	sr loose 192.5.16.33 26.3.0.103 26.0.0.90

ships an icmp echo packet to the lanl gateway via gateways 192.5.16.33 and
26.3.0.103.  What the heck, here's the script (BTW, the ping is a modified
Muuse ping):
