ping: unknown protocol icmp.
I googled for this, and only found suggestions to make sure /proc was mounted (which it was) and that my interfaces were correctly configured (which they were, and I dont see why this would matter). I asked GreigMcGill, and he suggested /etc/protocols issues: my /etc/protocols was fine, *BUT* my system had taken upon itself to declare my LDAP server as authoritative for protocols in /etc/nsswitch.conf:
- protocols: ldap [NOTFOUND=return] files
+ protocols: ldap [
[NOTFOUND=return] files
Deleting the ldap portion (as I don't have protocols info in the LDAP tree) fixed
protocols: files.
