Description Hank Leininger 2011-05-05 22:54:12 UTC

hping by design disables certain functionality when setuid root.

I trust me, but I'd rather be able to run hping without su/sudo.

So, here are patches to hping and to the ebuild to add a 'suid' USE flag.

As written, hping will be installed root:wheel mode 4110 (setuid root, but only runnable by members of group wheel).  Perhaps a dedicated group should be used instead.

Reproducible: Always
