i don't think so you can find traceroute in /usr/sbin in every other distri. you can run it from there too /usr/sbin/traceroute it just not in the path for the user(s). Hi there, I know that You can execute it, but at http://www.pathname.com/pub/fhs-2.2.pdf I found: 4.10 /usr/sbin : Non-essential standard system binaries 4.10.1 Purpose This directory contains any non-essential binaries used exclusively by the system administrator. System administration programs that are required for system repair, system recovery, mounting /usr, or other essential functions must be placed in /sbin instead. And I think traceroute is not exclusively used by the system administrator. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Fixed, thanks for catching this! |
