RDUMP - socket permission problem

[M. D. Parker]

Greetings...

In my zeal to properly protect files in my UNIX system, I seem to have caused
/etc/rdump to stop working.  Not only does it fail between systems, it fails
to work when it is for the local system.  The error message presented is:

	rcmd:socket: Permission denied

A similar problem happens when I do /etc/ping to another site.  A note here
is that /etc/ping will work correctly when executed as ROOT.

Question, what did I break and how do I fix it?  And unfortunately, NO I do 
not have sources.

Thanks for your help...
