ping -R does not work from Fedora 20 for all hosts

[willr3]

I have a local test environment with multiple agents but the master is unable to reach the agents because of the use of ping -R in harness/bin/Linux/interface:20
changing

INTERFACE=`ping -R -c1 "${TARGET}" | grep RR | awk '{ print $2 }' 2>/tmp/interface.$$.err`

to use ping

INTERFACE=`ping -c1 "${TARGET}" | grep PING | cut -d "(" -f2 | cut -d ")" -f1 2>/tmp/interface.$$.err`

works in my local environment and was initially discussed in the google-group Cannot contact hostx

Question: Will this ping '-c1' work on all other Linuxes as well?

Tested on Ubuntu and CentOS. It works.

Looks like this commit has broken lookups of the interface for users. Eg #121
Have also seen this as well in a new environment.
This commit needs to be reverted.

I'm seeing the same situation. The previous method (ping -R) works on Fedora 32 and RHEL 8 but the current method does not. I think this was actually my error back in 2014 and I'm not sure how it worked with remote agents.
