- - + <_description> -This program draws a simulation of a sonar screen. By default, -it displays a random assortment of ``bogies'' on the screen, but if -installed as "setuid root", it can ping (pun intended) your local -network, and actually plot the proximity of the other hosts on your -network to you. Written by Stephen Martin and Jamie Zawinski. +A sonar display pings (get it?) the hosts on your local network, and +plots their distance (response time) from you. The three rings +represent ping times of approximately 2.5, 70 and 2,000 milliseconds +respectively. + +Alternately, it can run a simulation that doesn't involve hosts. + +http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping#History +Written by Jamie Zawinski and Stephen Martin; 1998.
