The specified type of tracerouting is allowed for superuser only<br><br><br />
<br />
Most Linux distros don’t allow the –I switch for traceroute by regular users by default. Traceroute would have to be configured by enabling the setuid bit or with a setcap modification.<br><br> <br />
<br />
example using setcap:<br><br />
Setting...<br><br />
# '''setcap cap_net_raw+ep /usr/bin/traceroute'''<br />
<br />
viewing..<br><br />
# '''getcap /usr/bin/traceroute'''<br><br />
/usr/bin/traceroute = cap_net_raw+ep<br />
<br />
for more info see manpages for setuid or setcap<br />
