Sounds good. I do think that the -f restrictions should be
left in as well as the -i restrictions (only root can ping < 1 second
interval). -s restrictions could also be removed or a limit could
be set for non-root users.
The problems we've had with an unlimited -c has been more one of
forgetfullness... a user will start a ping going and forget to kill
it. It would be nice if ping did *NOT* default to an 'infinite' count,
even if users are allowed to specify an option to set an infinite count.
