Hey Now,
Thank you to everyone who responed. The obvious answer was
make sure you have icmp defined in your /etc/protocols file. Well
I did and that did not fix that. A truss of the traceroute shows:
...
22518: open("/etc/protocols", O_RDONLY) = 4
22518: close(4) = 0
22518: write(2, " i c m p : u n k n o w".., 23) = 23
...
The problem seems to be with the nss_files.so.1 library.
