Try running ping as root. If that works: Did you install bastille or some other security hardening tool? Ping needs to be run setuid root to access raw sockets. Check with 'ls -l `which ping`' whether the binary it setuid root. This is standard, but some of the mentioned tools change it to improve security. -- Got Backup? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
