EACCES on connect

Hi, A massping migration tester reported that he got the message Strange error from connect (13):Permission denied Strange error from connect (13):Permission denied When he tried to ping scan the hosts 10.0.1.0 and 10.0.1.255 as an unprivileged user. This "Strange error" message is printed when connect returns an unhandled error code. All such hosts are marked up, as if an ECONNREFUSED were returned. I suspect that his OS (Mac OS X) is not allowing him to ping broadcast addresses and connect is returning EACCES. Is this right, or has anyone else seen this? If so, we should add a case for EACCES and not mark the host up. There's another issue with broadcast addresses, which is that they're not detected as they were before, but I'll talk about that in a separate message.
