Hi!
I've fixed all the initial issues that were pointed out, so I'd
appreciate if someone would review this package now.
%description
Since the Linux kernel does not support the ICMP host name facilities as
described in RFC 1788, I wrote a simple implementation in user-space.
It comprises three parts:
* icmpdnd - The ICMP Domain Name daemon, which listens to ICMP
domain name requests and replies to them.
* idnlookup - A user utility to query a host for its host name over
ICMP. Like ping and all other utilities that use ICMP, it needs to
be installed SUID root.
* libnss_icmp.so.2 - A glibc NSS module, which uses idnlookup to
perform queries for the gethostbyaddr function.
Spec and SRPM:

Also, I'd appreciate if someone would CVS-sponsor it, since I have no
such account. Does anyone have a link (to the wiki?) with the proper
procedures for maintaining a package in FE?
Thanks,
Fredrik Tolf
