What's wrong:
I received the following error when attempting to execute ping:
athena% ping plan-9.media
/usr/sbin/ping: Permission denied.
The execute bit was intentionally removed from ping on the dialups,
because people were using compromised accounts to ping flood. We
haven't figured out a permanent solution yet.
