OK....  *NOW* I do have it....

The "correct" command is "getcap"

root@f17 tmp]# getcap /bin/ping
/bin/ping = cap_net_raw+ep

If nothing is returned from getcap then it isn't set....

After reinstall
$ getcap /bin/ping
/bin/ping = cap_net_raw+ep

and
$ sha256sum /bin/ping
b7eaaa776658fb9fff65dd927cc9480d39a3221129aceaa07d642ef6d9c33e4c  /bin/ping


Then you are basically done....

Now all you have to do is, since you've overwritten everything, is to sit around and
scratch your head and ask.....  "Was the sha256sum correct before I reinstalled?  Was
that ping command the "real" ping or was it dropped in by nefarious means?".

Well, call me paranoid if you like,
but your last bit is more along my line of suspicion,
only I lack the evidence and the means of discovering it.
