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 ... 

 

Paris Traceroute has its own implementation of ping that we explicitly do not install on EL-based distributions.  It looks like there was an oversight in the Debian packaging that leaves it there.

 

I’ve opened an issue on this (https://github.com/perfsonar/pscheduler/issues/1350) and will get that fixed in the next bugfix release.  The package manager will take care of removing the stray ping binary during the upgrade.
