From 8272d73e579739cccbfce61f7401cd5f8b9fd0e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Danijel Tasov Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2023 16:18:08 +0200 Subject: remove root check We can perfectly do icmp without root by using capabalities. So, instead of doing unsufficient checks beforehand, we just try and fail if it doesn't work.
