In my experiences, "Permission denied" is returned if you have a rule that blocks certain outbound packets; the OS tells the socket owner "no can do". There isn't enough information in the above report to help determine why it happens randomly; what flags have you passed ping? And please provide your entire ipfw ruleset, something may stand out. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
