K I think I've got to grips with this. tcptraceroute does exactly what I 
want it to as well. If I want to port UNIX apps would you have any advice? 
I've downloaded the docs from Apple, hopefully that's a good place to start.

I've used OSX for ages but only just starting to get into the whole

to v1.4 so I could use the -S option to avoid firewalls. I couldn't find 
any help AT ALL on the internet, which is when I stumbled across Fink.

Can someone please explain exactlly what Fink does and also if there is a 
Unix/Mac legend out there can they help me update traceroute.

Any help will be more than appreciated :S

Fink is a package management system.  Basically what this means is that you 
use it to install or remove packages that it knows about, as well as their 
dependencies, more or less automatically.

You might want to start with http://fink.sourceforge.net/about.php to see 
if Fink is right for you.  There a "tcptraceroute" package available in 
Fink, which does specifically mention being able to deal with firewalls.
