Yes, I of course am willing to contact LBL. I rather chose a FreeBSD PR though, as "-P" is not even available in their original traceroute package. It was introduced by archie with revision 1.9 of traceroute.c, and ICMP support in "-P" was introduced by Bill Fenner with revision 1.21 of traceroute.c. Therefore IMHO a local patch is the correct thing. bye, Harold To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
