VSCode debugging does not work requires root rights

[gsnw]

Debugging in VSCode does not work because fping requires root rights. Unfortunately, this was not taken into account during implementation.

Error message: fping: can't create socket (must run as root?)

If fping requires root privileges (or the NET_CAP_RAW capability) should depend on the operating system and its configuration.

• On macOS, fping should not require root privileges.
• On systems with the kernel Linux, with a not too old kernel version, unprivileged operation also requires a suitable setting of the net.ipv4.ping_group_range kernel parameter. One of the group IDs of the fping process needs to be found inside the closed interval described by this parameter. Then fping should require neither root privileges nor CAP_NET_RAW.

I had forgotten to check my sysctl.d files when reinstalling Linux. The group ID has changed, so the net.ipv4.ping_group_range was no longer correct.

I didn't say anything, thanks
