Forgive me if this is obvious or has been covered, but I'm
puzzled.
I recently upgraded a webserver to FC1... it's a simple
athlon with an onboard eth0. I have a static IP address and very
little
running (just sshd, httpd, and sendmail). When I traceroute to this
machine, I get an endlessly repeating last hop (when I run traceroute
from OS X/bsd) or a !<10> diagnostic on the last one (when I run it
from
an RH8 machine).
As far as I can tell from preliminary reading, this indicates
a kernel bug, but I'm up2dated to the latest 2.4.22.
Everything's working fine, but these traceroute results are
worrying me a little. Any insights?

I don't supposed you could forward the output of a iptables -L from the
Fedora machine, and the offending traceroutes from their respective
machines? Also, just for grins and giggles, the output of the route
command from all the machines would be handy if the traceroutes aren't
getting too far. A great many guesses come to mind as to why traces
would end as you describe, and with the requested info, some of those
could be ruled out.
Also, I don't gleem from your note where the traceroute machines are
relative to the Fedora machine. Same segment? Same lan, different
segment? Elsewhere?
