ping requiers root privs

[Joakim Tjernlund]

trying to ping as a non root user in bb v1.7.3 gives me this:
ping 192.168.1.10
PING 192.168.1.10 (192.168.1.10): 56 data bytes
ping: permission denied. (are you root?)

strace ping 192.168.1.10 shows:
read(5, "# /etc/protocols:\n# $Id: protoco"..., 4096) = 1865
close(5)                                = 0
munmap(0x3001a000, 4096)                = 0
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_ICMP) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
write(2, "ping: permission denied. (are yo"..., 41ping: permission denied. (are you root?)
) = 41
munmap(0x30018000, 4096)                = 0
exit_group(1)                           = ?

Ping tries to open a raw socket and only root can do that.

While I am at it I really would like to see support for
-f(flood), -l(preload) and Don't Fragment support in ping too.

I often used ping as poor mans testtool and I miss theese options.
