That's crazy. Normal pings shouldn't require root. Only changing
payload
size or flooding or other such things should require it.
Netkit ping has this behavior. ...or was that installed suid?
I don't know about Netkit but the ping we used to install from inetutils
had permissions 4775
Inetutils hasn't even (yet?) been removed from lfs and you're already
referring to it it the past tense. :p
