pinging 'from a shell session of the vserver' is not
possible with 1.2.x, unless you give CAP_NET_RAW (which
is unfortunately a default in debian, and was reported
as bug more than 250 days ago, status wontfix ;), which
allows much more than this (i.e. is insecure by default)
like:
- sniffing on the interface for _all_ traffic
- generating arbitrary packets (with arbitrary
ips or mac addresses, and data)

well, it doesn't really matter which ip is used, you can
always specify it with -I option ...
