Quoting Laurent MARTIN <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I'm not able to ping as "normal" user (aka "user"):
"ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted"
Things work well if I use ping as "root" user (sudo gainroot). Is
this a normal behaviour?
Yes, ping requires root privilege, but most linux distributions ship with ping
setuid root:
$ ls -l `which ping`
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 30724 Jul 12 2005 /bin/ping
