maybe i didn't explain this properly - i seem to not be able to send traffic, but can receive it okay.

I sent this earlier, but it didn't come back.  Our servers are doing
their well known impression of a yo-yo at the moment - not sure if it
went out, but my copy was lost, or if it never made it out.  Apologies
if you are seeing this for the second time...

To send ICMP packets (which is what ping does), the program requires root
level priviledges.  Try running it as root, to see if that works.  
-
i was root at the time, and ping is already suid root - this is a fresh debian slink install

it at least gave me something to check :)

any other ideas?
