ntping needs to run with uid 0, the uid of the root user.
the error message indicates, that it is run with user rights (user id
5650).
the make sinstall as root should install appropriate permissions; eg:
> % ls -l /usr/local/bin/ntping
> -rwsr-xr-x 1 root other 24396 Dec 15 12:27 /usr/local/bin/ntping
^^^ ^^^^
another problem could be the installation to a nfs-mounted partition,
which is mounted with the option nosuid making the s-bit invalid.
then you have to reinstall with another --prefix (or change the
mount-options).
i hope this helps,
Erik
