Comment(by bdubbs@…):
I took a look at the traceroute version in BLFS. That version has many
more features than the one in inetutils and it has been updated recently
(2012/12/06). That version installs in /bin with 775 permissions and no
suid bits set.
I tested both and the inetutils version does not work without root
privileges.
{{{
$ ldd /sbin/traceroute
linux-gate.so.1 (0xffffe000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0xb772a000)
libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0xb7726000)
libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0xb770d000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0xb76f2000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7540000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7777000)
$ ldd ./traceroute
linux-gate.so.1 (0xffffe000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7714000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7563000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7759000)
}}}
Let's use /bin for consistency.
