That's because on Linux you must be root to send ping packets for users not to
flood hosts with ping packets. It is a security thing. You can not bind to a
port below 1024 as a normal user.

Subject: [Synalist] Synapse in Lazarus on Linux with user privileges not
working.
Hi,
when I start Lazarus IDE from root account the PingSend.PingHost(host)
works properly, but when I start Lazarus IDE from user account the
PingSend.PingHost(host) gives all the time '-1' result.
Lazarus version: 1.4.2
FPC, FPC-SRC version: 2.6.4
Synapse version: 40
OS: Debina 8.1 on Oracle VM
please help in solving this problem.
