That's annoying, because system administrators often need traceroute to skip hosts that do not respond faster, but when specifying obvious wait time as 1 sec, they get an error. I see no reason for minimal wait time to be 2 sec, the patch attached lowers limit to well expected 1 second. >How-To-Repeat: 1) traceroute -w1 somehost traceroute: wait time must be > 1 2) ?! >Fix: --- traceroute.patch begins here --- --- src/contrib/traceroute/traceroute.c.orig Tue Mar 27 19:34:53 2007 +++ src/contrib/traceroute/traceroute.c Tue Mar 27 19:35:00 2007 @@ -608,7 +608,7 @@ case 'w': waittime = str2val(optarg, "wait time", - 2, 24 * 60 * 60); + 1, 24 * 60 * 60); break; case 'z': --- traceroute.patch ends here --- >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
