Today I tried to use traceroute and got the message: traceroute: icmp socket: Operation not permitted This has happened only recently. I tried running the command as root, but got the same message. It appears that this has happened since I last did apt-get dist-upgrade (I use unstable) *or* since I compiled and installed kernel 2.2.12 Any ideas? Thanks very much. -- Phillip Deackes Debian Linux (Potato)
