Its not just opening the socket as SOCK_DGRAM and think everything is ok (like it appears to work on OSX) Busybox tried to add support for it: http://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/networking/ping.c?id=72745632a13ccd12232127b31e1656f2f7ebcaff But later reverted it: http://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/networking/ping.c?id=f0058b1b1fe9f7e69b415616096fb9347f599426 The patch for the normal ping utility is also relatively intrusive: http://openwall.info/wiki/_media/segoon/iputils-ss020927-pingsock.diff I could also not find anything that indicates that this works for ipv6 in kernel. There are no /proc/sys/net/ipv6/ping_group_range So it looks like we need to set suid root for now. 2015-02-02T09:51:21Z Natanael Copa ncopa@alpinelinux.org 2015-02-02T09:45:38Z urn:sha1:2abdc2eb07801022e8314da1b96378364a1d83f9 we add workarounds for a couple of issues in musl libc 2014-11-05T23:12:34Z ScrumpyJack scrumpyjack@me.com 2014-11-05T20:34:36Z urn:sha1:a5982b417f7e015a6ce97ff1ede8c0bc7ff7f29d 2014-06-05T14:01:05Z Natanael Copa ncopa@alpinelinux.org 2014-06-05T14:01:05Z urn:sha1:0772ad68c67cd44a305392d0344f3e8c16a438dd 2014-05-21T08:42:55Z Fabian Affolter fabian@affolter-engineering.ch 2014-05-14T19:30:59Z urn:sha1:502459cf6de6654c6948ba253bed9f65dfa800f6 2014-04-01T11:01:00Z Natanael Copa ncopa@alpinelinux.org 2014-04-01T10:01:21Z urn:sha1:246460dd66996d44ab7b1b679d99910ff1c1d880 2013-11-18T10:57:49Z Natanael Copa ncopa@alpinelinux.org 2013-11-18T08:21:39Z urn:sha1:785826a33b8946043df64e81a7611186f0c34fa6 2013-10-13T11:55:30Z Natanael Copa ncopa@alpinelinux.org 2013-10-13T11:55:30Z urn:sha1:7d89a3221cb2775bf176eb29fe57e20b3c76a0cc 2013-09-29T08:47:22Z Timo Teräs timo.teras@iki.fi 2013-09-29T08:45:29Z urn:sha1:8f6f2e3166478b14b208ecfb94ddf01d69dd7bdc for musl build. the changes are automatically done based on previous build log errors, so this does not guarantee successful build, but is a required.
