Is there a traceroute utility that works under Solaris 2.3? Where can I get
it? Thank you in advance for your response.

The standard traceroute should compile and run fine under Solaris 2.x.

OK, but you must to config the next files :

/etc/defaultdomain
/etc/defaultrouter

Also there is a traceroute.sol2.tar.gz on opcom.sun.ca:/pub/tars which will compile without using source compatibility packages.

I've tried this version of traceroute on x86-Solaris 2.1. It compiles cleanly
but won't work from this host.

I get the following error: Packet length mismatch: 10240, 40

I think this has been discussed before but I don't remember how to fix this.
Can anyone offer any advice?

PS. Traceroute works fine from SunOS boxes on the same network with the same
default gateway etc.

Has anyone succeeded in creating a traceroute under Solaris2.3 that
produces useful output when invoked with the gateway (-g) option? I've
tried recompiling the so-called standard traceroute to run in
compatibility mode, porting that forward to not use the compatibility
stuff, and the code from opcom.sun.ca that was recently suggested in
another post - the result in all cases is output full of "*" and nothing
else:

# ./traceroute -g ftp.uu.net opcom.sun.ca
traceroute to opcom.sun.ca (142.77.1.61), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 * * *
2 * * *
.
.
.
and so on.

Straight traceroute's (even to the two sites in the example above) work
correctly.

Any ideas? Send me email - I'll post a summary if we get this solved!

Thanks for any light you may be able to shed....

The -g option specifies a loose source route and the way it's coded
in traceroute, it doesn't work under newer systems (Solaris 2.x, 4.4BSD,
BSD/386, etc.).

The problem is that traceroute builds the source route option and passes
it to the kernel using the IP_OPTIONS socket option. But the newer
systems don't include these options in the outgoing IP datagram if the
IP_HDRINCL option is also set for a SOCK_RAW Internet socket, which it is
for traceroute.

The way around this is for traceroute to take the loose source route and
build it into the IP header *itself*, instead of passing it as an option
to the kernel. This is doable, but nontrivial, and I haven't tried it.

Here is the definitive word on using the gateway option (-g) to
traceroute under Solaris2.3 - you can't do it (easily). I asked:

I'll wait for Solaris2.4.

If you really need it, you can try the workaround version on
ftp.csri.toronto.edu:/pub/edwin/traceroute.tar

Please, let me know if it doesn't do what you want it to do.
