| Hmm, two things which come to mind are (a) do you have extended
| attributes compiled into your kernel and (b) is sudo properly set

| 
| But for (a) to be the case, you should be getting EOPNOTZSPUP (98),
| not ENOSYS (38).

| 
| 	strace -o/tmp/straceout -f setfcaps cap_net_raw=ep /bin/ping
| 
| as root?

.config and straceout attached.  The filesystem is ext3.  Will check if
sudo is properly configured.

Thanks,
Bill
