            Bug ID: 199855
           Summary: ping prints useless message to stderr, breaking nagios
                    ping plugin
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: marcus at blazingdot.com

Ping sends a message to stderr during normal operation which seems unnecessary,
and breaks at least the nagios ping plugin.  The message in question is
"capability mode sandbox enabled", and while interesting, does not seem
informative enough to be part of the output of every invocation of ping.

$ ping www.google.com
capability mode sandbox enabled
PING www.google.com (74.125.28.104): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 74.125.28.104: icmp_seq=0 ttl=46 time=19.387 ms
...

In order to fix nagios on -CURRENT, I had to comment out the line that prints
this debugging message.
