slackpkg update gpg command tries to ping server
by dalacor from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6MPWY)
I have disabled icmp on my server as I don't need to ping anything and icmp does present a small security risk.
However, I have noticed that every time I run the slackpkg update gpg command to update Slackware, it always attempts to ping the site before failing and then allows me to update Slackware.
Is there anyway to disable the ping aspect of this command.
