The operative word is "should"

Solaris 2.4 isn't, nor are any of the SunOs 4.x versions, AIX up to the
current level or Linux.

I'd say just about anyone who cares at all about security (ie: anyone
reading this list) has source routing disabled on their routers, and
probably on their individual workstations as well.


I'd agree with you but I've seen more ciscos than I like to remember with
source routing still enabled.
