What fedora version is this? ping used to use 'capabilities' to give itself the needed permssions to send things to the network. capabilities are pretty rough grained. ie, the 'cap_net_raw' lets you do a lot of things with network (more than ping really needs to work). Any currently supported fedora tho should no longer be using capabilities for ping instead it's using a change to kernel config to allow ports by ping. From f31: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/EnableSysctlPingGroupRange So, check: grep ping_group_range /usr/lib/sysctl.d/*.conf (which should be: /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf:-net.ipv4.ping_group_range = 0 2147483647 ) kevin
