/usr/sbin/traceroute ha1
ksh: /usr/sbin/traceroute:  not found

The system is System = SunOS
Node = xxx.ddd.com
Release = 5.6
KernelID = Generic_105181-15
Machine = sun4u

How? Why?  I have traceroute on SunOS 5.7

download it and compile it like the way
a c compiler and gzip were missing!
Can it be true?

5.6 doesnt ship with traceroute. you could TRY just copying it from
your 5.7 machine.

The word of the day is mispergitude

Not only can it be true, it is true. Enjoy and I can't tell you why they
changed that. Version 1.4a5 is available for download from www.sunfreeware.com
as a package for Sparc Solaris 6. Otherwise you'll probably be left to compile
it.

Good luck,
James

Changed what?  Traceroute was never included until Solaris 7.  Solaris 2.6
didn't change anything, Solaris 7 added something.

The change is that traceroute was absent from 5.6 (and all earlier versions)
but is present in 5.7. Your implication is that Sun did something evil, or at
least incomprehensible, by including traceroute in the later version - why so?

Actually I thought I remembered it being included with 2.51... then not in 6 and
back in 7... maybe it was just all the crack I did in preschool.

No, that's not my implication at all; it is just ignorance on my part
that i did not know 5.6 & earlier did not include traceroute; i assumed
because it was there in my previous experiences that it was bundled
thanks

Solaris 2.5.1 never included traceroute but... what is the matter about
download it from ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/ and compile it under Solaris?
You can get it from Lawrence Berkeley Labs. and compiles just fine
under Solaris, without problems.

I think it is best to get source from developers that a precompiled
package. It can be more updated,

Must have been; it wasn't there until S7.

Expressed in this posting are my opinions.  They are in no way related
to opinions held by my employer, Sun Microsystems.
Statements on Sun products included here are not gospel and may
be fiction rather than truth.

   Interesting that it knew the path.  Have you tried
   limiting your crossposting and typing in "which traceroute"?

   However, there is a newer version on www.sunfreeware.com that
   works a bit better.

Yup, the Solaris 7 traceroute works quite well on 2.6.  
2.5.1 as well.

I typed in the path myself using it from pathname on SunOS 5.7
