Traceroute Problem

2007-12-25 10:20:00

My original question is :-

I am running Solaris 2.5 on sparc workstation. My problem is that whenever

I use traceroute program login as root is works fine but when I try to use

it login as general user it gives following error message .......

traceroute: Warning: ckecksums disabled traceroute: icmp socket:

Permission denied

Is there any way out ?

I get overwhelming response, almost everybody giving the same answer :-

In order to give normal user access to traceroute turn on the setuid bit,

chmod u+s traceroute

It worked....

With regards,

Biswajit
