ping not allowed ?

Hi all,

did I restrict myself too much, or is ping not allowed as a normal user ?

This appears only on my amd-64-system.

What do I have to check ?

---- snip ----------
ullhan63@protheus2:~$ ping www.debian.org
ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted
ullhan63@protheus2:~$

-------- snap -----------

Regards

Hans

You probably did and no it isn't. Ping must be setuid root.

chown root.root /bin/ping && chmod 4755 /bin/ping
