Is it better to make the err message like below ? """ err:winediag:IcmpCreateFile Failed to use ICMP (network ping), this requires special permissions. To allow Wine opening raw sockets run this command: sudo setcap cap_net_raw+epi /usr/bin/wine-preloader """
I'm not sure if that command is available in all systems wine is supported. IMO it's better to leave it as is currently =)

Last I looked the ping command didn't provide all of the information needed to implement IcmpSendEcho(), but it's still usefull as a fallback I guess.
It may be worth spending effort to handle privilege issues like this (binding ports below 1024 and the page zero problem come to mind as well) with fine-grained permissions, as provided by selinux for example.
Hans, any update on this? Should we leave this bug opened till this is implemented or maybe mark it as wontfix?
