Dumb question -- this should include /usr/athena/etc (where traceroute
from the Athena release exists), right?
Note that SGI distributes a traceroute in /usr/etc, which is a
different version than LBL traceroute (build in /usr/athena/etc), the
notable change is that /usr/etc/traceroute notes ttl variations that
are indicative of asymmetric routing. Eg:
[steve-dallas!jhawk] ~> /usr/etc/traceroute cannes.aa.ans.net
traceroute to cannes.aa.ans.net (198.83.22.66), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
