Hey all,

Did I miss something? I now have to use sudo in order to ping:

graton% ping 10.1.0.1
ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted
graton% sudo ping 10.1.0.1

I thought maybe this was related to the glibc mess, so I finished
cleaning that up (now everything is in /usr/lib with a symbolic link
created for /lib), but that annoyance made no difference.
