>Description:
In traceroute utility, minimal time to wait for reply is 2 seconds. That's annoying, because system administrators often need traceroute to skip hosts that do not respond faster, but when specifying obvious wait time as 1 sec, they get an error. I see no reason for minimal wait time to be 2 sec, the patch attached lowers limit to well expected 1 second.
>How-To-Repeat:
1) traceroute -w1 somehost
traceroute: wait time must be > 1
2) ?!
