Nope I'm afraid no generalization trick. Basically I needed to open a RAW socket which requires root access, but reading up on socket man page, I see that now I can open a ICMP socket which is a new addition, and doesn't require root and yet do what I want to do.
So just something that works for my particular case. thanks Bhaskar On Sun, Mar 15, 2015 at 4:34 PM, Dirk Eddelbuettel <e...@debian.org> wrote: > > On 15 March 2015 at 16:26, Bhaskar V.
