Thanks John (it was a long shot guess on my part). So if the OP (Tim) doesn't need to get that output from getcap it should be reset:- # setcap cap_net_raw+p `which ping` NOTE: I haven't tested that as I'm not running unstable, adding the -v parameter will give much more information about the outcome. There still remains the problem of why does it stop working. Bugreport? Kind regards Refs:- man getcap man setcap man cap_from_text http://blog.fpmurphy.com/2009/05/linux-security-capabilities.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
