Description Cristian Cardoso 2020-07-15 13:46:36 UTC 
When trying to run a mtr on FreeBSD, this error always occurs:
Error decoding localhost address
mtr: Failure to start mtr-packet: Invalid argument

This occurs with the mtr-0.93_1 package and the mtr-nox11-0.93_1 package

SO version: 12.1-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p2 GENERIC amd64
Comment 1 Sunpoet Po-Chuan Hsieh freebsd_committer 2020-07-30 10:37:50 UTC 
The same problem was reported in bug #243121 and fixed in mtr 0.93_1.

I have no idea what happened on your box.
Could you give more information about your configuration?

And please confirm:
- /usr/local/sbin/mtr-packet has setuid bit
- You do not have an old installation with outdated binaries.

% ls -la /usr/local/sbin/mtr-packet

(In reply to Sunpoet Po-Chuan Hsieh from comment #1)
After updating or freebsd moved to run mtr
The settings were as you mentioned.

Installing a system from a FreeBSD 12.1 ISO a few months ago.

Please confirm if the problem still exists in mtr 0.94.

Hello

I tested it on my FreeBSD router which is in the version: 12.1-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p10 GENERIC  amd64

Curious that I have other FreeBSD servers in the same version that this does not occur.

# mtr 1.1.1.1
Error decoding localhost address (connect failed/Network is unreachable)
mtr: Failure to start mtr-packet: Invalid argument

The above test was done in version 0.94 and in version mtr-nox11-0.94
