It should be possible to make ping work as normal user with recent linux: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/5/13/382 However, it appears that it requires relatively intrusive changes in the ping utility. Its not just opening the socket as SOCK_DGRAM and think everything is ok (like it appears to work on OSX) Busybox tried to add support for it: http://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/networking/ping.c?id=72745632a13ccd12232127b31e1656f2f7ebcaff But later reverted it: http://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/networking/ping.c?id=f0058b1b1fe9f7e69b415616096fb9347f599426 The patch for the normal ping utility is also relatively intrusive: http://openwall.info/wiki/_media/segoon/iputils-ss020927-pingsock.diff I could also not find anything that indicates that this works for ipv6 in kernel. There are no /proc/sys/net/ipv6/ping_group_range So it looks like we need to set suid root for now.
