[gentoo-user] Ping errors

[Thomas Smith]

I've had Gentoo setup and running on a test server for about a month now 
and didn't notice any of these errors until I configured Nagios--it 
immediately started reporting WARNINGs regarding this error.. I've 
googled for this problem and every body seems to agree that it's an 
issue with the Kernel but no one has offered a solution. The error I get is:

WARNING: failed to install socket filter
: Protocol not available
This error occurs when PINGing /any/ host. It doesn't happen with every 
ping--that is, it occurs after every few responses. It doesn't seem to 
be causing any other functionality problems.

I've installed many other progs (Gnome, LDAP, and related tools, and 
updated the system) but nothing that seems to be related to the 
kernel--the kernel version is 2.4.20-gentoo-r6 (the same as when I 
initially setup the system). The kernel was compiled with:

USE="aavm" genkernel
