Scotty's discover code uses basically the ``icmp'' function with the
ability of sending icmp-ping-requests, icmp-mask-requests,
tracerouting and more.
For this imcp stuff scotty starts ``ntping'' (normally installed as
$(prefix)/bin/ntping) and i would guess, that ntping is broken for
your SVR4 box.
Ntping seems to run on 386BSD, so its nice to hear, it runs on FreeBSD
too (no reason why not), and it seems to run on Solaris 2.3, so i hope
it's something trivial to fix.
If no one else has fixes for ``ICL DRS/NX'' (- sounds funny :), please
send me some debug output; for a first look something like
ntping -V
echo 'sol.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de' | ntping -D -b
echo '-mask sol.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de' | ntping -D -b
echo '-ttl 2 sol.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de' | ntping -D -b
echo '-trace 20 sol.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de' | ntping -D -b
would help to see if all of the stuff is broken. (you may replace
sol.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de with a host, which is at least 3 hops away).
