Fact of life. Define your icmp_ping tests in the uxmon-asroot file,  
instead of uxmon-net. That's what it's there for.

;-)

To make this clearer: the presence of a file named uxmon-asroot, which has  
the same syntax as usmon-net, causes an instance of uxmon to be started  
the runs as root. Tests, such as icmp_ping, that require root priviledges  
to work go in uxmon-asroot. All other tests should be put into uxmon-net.
