Title:
  ping requires sudo permissions

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have been running 14.04 since Alpha 1 and simply updating. Sometime
  between Beta 1 and Beta 2 ping began to require sudo. I cannot  pin
  point a specific time/update as I don't use ping that frequently.

  I have confirmed that on a fresh install from the daily build that
  this issue is still present. I have tried rolling back to the
  3.13.0.17 kernel (the kernel used prior to latest update) but the
  issue persisted.

  This is on a System76 Galago UltraPro
