Subject: irpas: tctrace: ICMP packet to small to carry original IP header
Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2003 14:22:37 +0100 (CET)
Package: irpas
Version: 0.10-2
Severity: normal

tctrace is confused:

,----
| # tctrace -v -i eth3 -d212.162.160.10
| Tracing with TCP SYNs to 212.162.160.10
| Timeout 3, interface eth3
| ICMP packet to small to carry original IP header
| Should be 48, is 40
| <above 2 lines repeated several times>
|  1(1)   Timeout
`----

strace seems to indicate tctrace is listening to the wrong thing :(
Mixing up interfaces (see below: packets to 193.13.178.2 are routed
over eth0 in my case, not eth3)? I didn't ask it to do anything with
193.13.178.2, only 212.162.160.10. Another process runs:

  fping 193.13.178.2

and has nothing in common with tctrace.
