traceroute vs. traceroute6
Hi all!
I discovered some inconsistency in potato/woody filesystem.
There is /usr/sbin/traceroute from traceroute or traceroute-nanog
packages and /usr/bin/traceroute6 from netbase. Since traceroute
and traceroute6 does the same thing, one of them is in a wrong
directory. But which?
Is traceroute a tool for a normal system user or for administators only?
As a normal user I very often use traceroute and I'd like to see it in
/usr/bin. But I know that on most unices traceroute is considered to be
an admistrative tool and is in /usr/sbin directory. So traceroute6
probably shoud be moved to /usr/sbin too.
And similar probelm: where should be located tracepath and tracepath6?
In /usr/bin, where they are now or in /usr/sbin?
