I get: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ /gnu/store/1qh584gxcdfjrz43qi042mj0pvh28m9l-inetutils-1.9.4.50-9410/bin/ping 9.9.9.9 ping: Lacking privilege for icmp socket. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- How’s that supposed to work? If that’s based on POSIX capabilities (‘setcap’), it won’t work with Guix because these are stripped from store files. Thanks, Ludo’.
