Hi, First, I believe that the issue about 'tcptracroute report is more verbose' is fixed since 2.0.9. At least, when tracerouting google here, it's as verbose as the original tcptracreoute:

But so does original tcptraceroute (it's just that the binary is suid-root in the package to achieve for that). Do you think it is a good idea to make traceroute suid-root too? I'm not so fond of that.
