Hello -questions:
Lately (since a few days ago) I've been getting an oddity from
traceroute, for example:
--------------------
traceroute to www.freebsd.org (216.136.204.117), 64 hops max, 44 byte packets
traceroute: sendto: Permission denied
1 traceroute: wrote www.freebsd.org 44 chars, ret=-1
*traceroute: sendto: Permission denied
traceroute: wrote www.freebsd.org 44 chars, ret=-1
* 10.108.0.1 (10.108.0.1) 7.212 ms
[other hops that look just fine]
13 www.freebsd.org (216.136.204.117) 94.209 ms 87.449 ms 89.103 ms
--------------------
OS is 4.10-RELEASE, built from source acquired via cvsup.
I get that "Permission denied" at the beginning regardless of
where I might try tracing "outside" (external interface - dc0)
e.g. it works just fine to my local net (local interface - dc1).
Up until a few days ago, traceroute "worked fine" and never (as
far as I recall) reported such a message.
Btw, that 10.108.0.1 hop has been there for ages, and while I
think it's "unusual" it has been there for ages & hasn't
previously affected traces.
The difference between previous & now is that "traceroute:
sendto: Permission denied" message
What does that mean? What is traceroute trying to do?
I tried the "tracert" from a local (NATed) Win2k machine & that
seems to work as it always has. {shrug}
Any idea(s) what's (not) happening?
Is my upstream connection blocking something (again)?
Is there some kind of workaround/fix (perhaps my firewall config)?
Thanks,
-kc
