ping now impossible?

Yesterday, I could run ping. This morning I installed updates
which came with a new kernel, and all attempts to ping
generate this:

tomh> ping marmot
ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted

I now have to use sudo in front of ping to make it work.

What the heck happened with this round of updates?

(I see iputils was also an update this morning).
