netkit-base and ping

[Net Llama!]

Sure you could do it with nmap too.  xinetd shouldn't come with ping,
since ping isn't a xinetd service.  I don't understqand why you want/need
to remove netkit-base in the first place.  If you don't like the way that
whatever distro builds their packages, then you can build your own.
