check_icmp

[Michael J. Prentice]

It needs to have a SUID of root.  In case you are like me and new to Linux you do that by;

Chown root check_icmp
Chgrp root check_icmp
Chmod u+s check_icmp
Chmod g+s check_icmp

Of course there might be a quicker way to do that..

All-
   I just compiled check_icmp 1.0  (as myself) and for users other than 
root I get:
Failed to obtain ICMP socket: Operation not permitted

First as myself, second with sudo
 > ./check_icmp masterserver002
check_icmp: Failed to obtain ICMP socket: Operation not permitted
 > sudo ./check_icmp masterserver002
OK - masterserver002: rta 0.229ms, lost 
0%|rta=0.229ms;200.000;500.000;0; pl=0%;40;80;;
 >

Any suggestions for me to resolve this?
Thanks,
Lewis
