Try ping -s -Rv, I think it does the same thing.

There is only one site that has traceroute compiled
available and that is server.berkeley.edu  
in the /pub/x86solaris/compiled directory?.  However this is
a hard site to get into as they only allow 25 users at once
to access the sites.  All the other sites I have seen have
old out dated binaries and information for Solaris x86 on the
long dead dead, dead dead dead version 2.1 of Solaris x86.
So I'd say hit the auto ftp (ftp -r) to server.berkeley.edu
until you get in.  The sunsties do not seem to be well
organized with the Solaris x86 version 2.4 binaries.
If anyone knows where the Solaris x86 version 2.4 binaries are
available on Sunsite's can you give me a pointer.  I'm really
not interested in the Solaris 2.1 binaries or information
that I have found on Sunsites.

Note that traceroute isn't part of SunOS 4.x, either.

It uses route recording, an IP option. This option is not supported by
a number of routers, and limited due to space limits in IP headers.

Ask archie for the traceroute sources. Porting them is a matter of
bcopy, index and some more BSDisms. A ported version is available as
well as something like traceroute-sol2.tar.gz.

I have been using an image compiled on/for SunOS 4.1.3 on several different
Solaris 2.[34] machines.

Okay, but who cares about SVR3 these days (Oops, no SCO flames please ;)

I see it this way: Route recording is possible, but almost useless due
to the fact that most routers don't do it and you can't trace more than
some hops (6 or 7 or so). Traces are typically around 15 hops these days,
f.i. from our PoP in Dresden to some DEC server in Palo Alto.
Traceroute using TTL is also possible and more useful, as more routers
support TTL correctly and there are _no_ imposed limites in the first
place (besides from TTL beeing a poor little byte).

BTW, there's a new version of traceroute available, the bad idea is it's
still called traceroute.tar.gz... but it has nifty options for MTU stuff,
displaying hostmasters for hops by means of SOA queries, min/avg/max type
statistics etc. Try ftp://ftp.xlink.net/pub/network/traceroute.tar.gz. In
the same directory is a patch to get it running on Solaris as well.
