I have copied my /usr/bin/ping file to another location (my home directory) with just a typical `cp /bin/ping p` command and then it stopped working, because the lack of permissions. Precisely:

I know that `sudo` would rather solve my problem, but I **should not log in as a superuser**.  

I also know that it is (probably) all about the lack of some permissions or capabilities (in fact `getcap` for my copied file shows it's missing the original ping's capabilities), but unfortunately I am not able to use `setcap` without root privileges .. or maybe I am? Somehow?

How could I solve this problem and be able to use my ping file copy `./p`?
