Sounds like more setuid trouble. To send an ICMP packet (ping uses the ICMP
ECHO-REQUEST) you need a "raw" socket. Only root can create a raw socket. For
this reason ping must be setuid root. Make sure that it is.

Kevin, this is probably a feature (only the maintainer and his/her hairdresser
know for sure). The X server, because it gets into your hardware, needs root
permission. Historically this meant the server executable was setuid root.
Naturally this is a security hole so they've probably left setuid of

I had the same trouble with the debian packages, then
Last I checked none of the X apps do. A dependancy means a file you
need for your app to work -- like a lib or something. Something your
app actually calls or uses. If a wm declared a dependancy on Xserver
and you had to un-install the Xserver you would be forced to remove your
wm too.

I have read on Oracle newsgroups that you can get database connectivity via
the JDBC on Linux. Do I need to get a JDBC driver from Oracle?

Maybe. The error you got, a segmentation fault, means that you tried
