hi!
It's also a good idea to prevent normal users from using ping. "chmod 700 /bin/ping" should do the trick.
What's that good for? If you have net access you can get "your own ping".
A better idea would be to allow normal users to use ping, but only allow normal pings (no options like "-p" and "-s").
iirc there should be a secure ping which prevents for example attacks with a program called pingflood and has the ability to log to syslogd. best regards Sebastian
