Interesting and funny "bug" :D How comes do they hate Windoze so much? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dmitry Butskoy @ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461109 Formally, we do not support "tracert". (I am the upstream maintainer too). The idea (certainly a little questionable) was to help the network admins, who previously worked under windoze and mechanically typed (under a pressure) "tracert" instead of "traceroute". In general, "tracert" is not just "traceroute -I" -- it has slightly different output etc. Thus we do not provide "tracert" now, hence "man tracert" should not confuse users about actually not implemented utility... Perhaps remove /bin/tracert symlink at all? Or to leave things as is? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Best Regards, Nguyen Hung Vu [aka: NVH] ( in Vietnamese: Nguy?n V?
