I'm still going with unifying ping/ping6 and traceroute/traceroute6 as of now. Also, I did not find the source for traceroute in /usr/src/usr.sbin/traceroute/. This dir just contained a Makefile and findsaddr-udp.c. The other relevant files were in /usr/src/contrib/traceroute/. However this was not the case with traceroute6. traceroute6.c is in /usr/src/usr.sbin/traceroute6/ (where it should be) except for the file as.h (which it includes) which is in /usr/src/contrib/traceroute/ Why isn't all of traceroute in one place?
