Hi,
traceroute needs to be suid root so that it can use raw sockets.
ck@mail.toplink.net: {8} ls -l /usr/sbin/trace*
-r-sr-xr-x 1 root bin 16384 Oct 21 1997 /usr/sbin/traceroute*
ck@mail.toplink.net: {9}
propaly following will fix it
chown root:bin /usr/sbin/traceroute
chmod 4555 /usr/sbin/traceroute
could be somebody has down a chown -R over /usr or something similar
Greetings
Christian
