FrontRangeHosting PING Error - icmp open socket: Operation not permitted

Today, I’m configuring my FrontRangeHosting which is unused for a while using Minstall 2.5.7.
Using Debian 6 32bit and 64bit, I can not ping except as root, and always get this error message :

ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted

To fix this issue, we have to run this command as root :

# chmod u+s /bin/ping

Now if we run ping as user other than root, it will work  🙂
