In earlier Fedora versions I could ping some IP address without sudo or a previous su. In Fedora 15, pinging as normal user is rejected with:

ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted

iputils-20101006-7.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.ping localhost
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted


Expected results:
correct ping results

Comment 1 Joachim Backes 2011-03-14 13:55:12 UTC 
After rebooting my F15 box, I got rid of all ping problems: no more sudo needed for pinging some IP address. No explanation for this behaviour :-(
