** Description changed: The latest version of iputils have the option of using SOCK_DGRAM packets instead of SOCK_RAW, provided that the net.ipv4.ping_group_range sysctl is set to a different value. This helps a lot with security in -not just- Linux containers by dropping support for the NET_RAW capability. Also, the ubuntu-minimal packages should not include this package as a hard dependency in case I want to uninstall iputils-ping to substitute it for another package like oping which just works if I turn off the setuid bit. + + This would help a lot with secure Linux containers with no NET_RAW + capabilities.
