Hi, Are there any ideas why traceroute requires waittime >=2 seconds? The only place it used is select(2) timeout. -- Maxim Konovalov ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2007 19:44:54 +0400 (MSD) From: Dmitry Marakasov <amdmi3@amdmi3.ru> To: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: bin/110933: [traceroute][patch] minimal wait time should be 1 sec, not 2 Resent-Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2007 15:50:09 GMT Resent-From: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org (GNATS Filer) Resent-To: freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org [...] In traceroute utility, minimal time to wait for reply is 2 seconds. 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: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
