Hi, there's a new package suggested as traceroute replacement. It works without requiring a setuid bit. <snip> This traceroute implementation relies on a number of features of the 2.4 Linux kernel. It works pretty much like ANK's tracepath, but tries to be command line compatible with the original traceroute. I also has IPv6 support, and does parallel probes, which makes it a little faster. </snip> The replacement is missing some options on which some scripts might depend on. Please test the package http://people.redhat.com/rvokal/traceroute/traceroute-1.0.3-3.src.rpm and report any problems to this bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=172198 missing options are: -d Enable socket level debugging. -I Use ICMP ECHO instead of UDP datagrams. -r Bypass the normal routing tables and send directly to a host on an attached network. If the host is not on a directly-attached network, an error is returned. This option can be used to ping a local host through an interface that has no route through it (e.g., after the interface was dropped by routed(8C)). -v Verbose output. Received ICMP packets other than TIME_EXCEEDED and UNREACHABLEs are listed. -x Toggle ip checksums. Normally, this prevents traceroute from calculating ip checksums. In some cases, the operating system can overwrite parts of the outgoing packet but not recalculate the checksum (so in some cases the default is to not calculate checksums and using -x causes them to be calcualted). Note that checksums are usually required for the last hop when using ICMP ECHO probes (-I). So they are always calculated when using ICMP. -z Set the time (in milliseconds) to pause between probes (default 0). Some systems such as Solaris and routers such as Ciscos rate limit icmp messages. A good value to use with this this is 500 (e.g. 1/2 second). differences: -S = -s and -I = -i (! the above src rpm has a patch to use -i for interfaces as old traceroute) -- Radek Vokál <radekvokal@xxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
