Umm, there's an actively maintained group of 'enhanced' tools including ping and traceroute around somewhere. I have a recent copy of traceroute and ping, and it's traceroute definately does source routing. I wasn't able to test it though, because we (I :-) removed source routing support from all of our hosts... Hmm.. I guess I can test it on freefall now... :-) If it works for FreeBSD, I guess I could import it... (the only problem is that I seem to recall that it it uses 4-digit precision for RTT times, which DG's fingernails can't handle.. :-) -Peter >jmb >Jonathan M.
