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
