Re: Error -3200 with Endpoint type kRawIPName

On Mac OS X 10.2 or later, there is a (probably undocumented) ICMP socket you can open to send echo request packets and receive any ICMP packets. This requires that you move away from the OpenTransport APIs.

For versions of Mac OS X prior to 10.2, you'll need to read about using the authentication framework and setting up a separate tool that runs as root to actually perform the work or pass an ICMP socket back to your non-root process. This also requires moving to the sockets API. I believe you can use the AuthSample sample code as a starting point.

Then, how can i send ICMP packages, without having root privileges...

My guess is that you're getting a permission error. On Mac OS X, opening a raw IP socket require root privileges.
