I guess u missed the topic here: a) traceroute is in /sbin (traceroute6 is in /usr/bin) b) normal users can execute /usr/sbin/traceroute (since it IS suid root) c) normal users need to put /usr/sbin in their path to execute this program d) FHS recommends to put in sbin only programs a normal (non admin) user dont want to use -> e) our recommended solution wold be to install traceroute in bin (i already repored that as an error half year ago) BUT f) our recommended solution would break scripts which use a hardwired /usr/sbin to traceroute -> g) our solution to this would be to move traceroute AND leave a symlink from the old location pointing to the newe one I dont see what sudo has to do with that Greetings Bernd -- (OO) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ( .. ) [EMAIL PROTECTED],linux.de,debian.org} http://home.pages.de/~eckes/ o--o *plush* 2048/93600EFD [EMAIL PROTECTED] +497257930613 BE5-RIPE (O____O) When cryptography is outlawed, bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
