"Operation not permitted" usually means that an ipfw rule is denying the outgoing packet (the other poster was incorrect; if a non-root person tries a ping -f, they get "ping: -f flag: Operation not permitted"). Check your outgoing ipfw rules and see if any of them could be filtering that packet. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
