The point was traceroute is _not_ installed by default. An admin desiring to |

to have to chmod traceroute on all those boxes, everytime there's an update |
11 |
to traceoute because of what could be deemed a poor choice for security. |

I don't see where the discussion has gotten moot or off-track. If enough of |

the community wants it back the way it was, I assume Gentoo developers will |

respond as such. |
