Hi,

What is the rationale for distributing a ping that's not SUID with perfsonar?

It comes in the default PATH before the system-provided ping and breaks interactive use for non-root users ... 

ping www.google.com
Cannot create a raw socket (are you root?): Operation not permitted
E: Cannot create libparistraceroute loopUnknown error: Operation not permitted

vs

/bin/ping www.google.com
PING www.google.com(syd09s25-in-x04.1e100.net (2404:6800:4006:814::2004)) 56 data bytes
