Whilst ping shouldn't let non-root users send oversized packets, this can't
be right:
~$ ping -c 1 9.20.5.107
PING 9.20.5.107 (9.20.5.107): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 9.20.5.107: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.2 ms
~$ ping -c 1 -s 56 9.20.5.107
ping: Operation not permitted
(56 is the default anyway!)
~$ sudo ping -c 1 -s 56 9.20.5.107
PING 9.20.5.107 (9.20.5.107): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 9.20.5.107: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.2 ms
ping is setuid

Hello,
All of these bugs should be fixed automagically by switching to
iputils-ping which replaces netkit-ping in Debian Etch.
#262304 was tagged Woody, but this is not a supported release anymore.
#36663: it is in fact the number of packet *sent* that matters, not the
the number of received ones. iputils-ping manpage is consistent.
#66551: the -I option is fixed with iputils-ping.
Regards,
