Thank you all for your explanations.
And yes, my ping is suid and this solves my problems.
Best regards,

Hi
On my system /bin/ping has suid-bit set.
So it it always executed as root, not as the user invoking it.
As far as I know, ping requires root privileges...
Linux supports
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_ICMP)
since v3.0, so ping does not _strictly_ need root anymore - and
meanwhile fixes your owner "mismatch".
