ping: "Operation not permitted"

[Kevin Traas <ktraas@uniserve.com>]

I've just installed a new box running Debian 2.0 (hamm) and I'm having a
slight problem.  I can't get it working properly on the network (this is
my fourth hamm install and all others are fine...).

For some reason, packets are not going out eth0.  

ifconfig reports interface as normal and expected.

ping reports: (to a remote interface)

nics# ping 192.168.1.1
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Operation not permitted
ping: wrote 192.168.1.1 64 chars, ret=-1
...

route -n reports:

Destination	Gateway	Mask		Flags	Metric	Ref	Interface
192.168.1.0	0.0.0.0	255.255.255.0	U	0	0	eth0
127.0.0.0	0.0.0.0	255.0.0.0	U	0	0	lo
0.0.0.0		192.168.1.1	0.0.0.0	UG	1	0	eth0

This looks normal too.

I don't have any "strange" daemons running.  It's a pretty basic
box/config.  No IP Masq, etc.   `dmesg' doesn't show any problems.
Neither do syslog, messages, etc.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Kevin Traas
