Why do you need root to ping?
All ports less than 1024 are only usable by the root user.
By defautl, perhaps. See the rest of my post.
Otherwise, how do you explain this (Debian):
pascaldev@debianlaz:~/papertiger$ whoami
pascaldev
pascaldev@debianlaz:~/papertiger$ ping www.freepascal.org
PING www.freepascal.org (81.82.199.218) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from d5152C7DA.static.telenet.be (81.82.199.218): icmp_seq=1

home: >which ping
/bin/ping
home: >ls -l /bin/ping
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 35712 Nov 8 2011 /bin/ping*
ping is setuid root.
