From: Elliot Schwartz <elliot@MIT.EDU>

System name:		contents-vnder-pressvre
Type and version:	SPARC/5 8.1.11 (with mkserv)
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
	Check if plan-9.media was up, since the MIT Roundtable 
	Discussions on Alcohol and Housing URL's from web.mit.edu
	weren't responding.

What's wrong:
	I received the following error when attempting to execute ping:
	athena% ping plan-9.media
	/usr/sbin/ping: Permission denied.

What should have happened:
	ping should have functioned as normal.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	man pages for ping(1M) and chmod(1)
