I've been hesitant to include this because it was not clear to me what the advantage over other traceroute implementations would be. There's paris-traceroute for example which is available on GNU/kFreeBSD and purports to provide additional functionality over standard traceroutes, but I've just tried it now and it segfaults! (I'll report that separately). So I'll be including this for the next upload. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
