Or you could use the Linux capability system but it's only appeared in
the latest distributions, for example:

$ sudo execcap 'cap_net_raw=ep' ./pgm_remote_thr

Will run "pgm_remote_thr" with only the CAP_NET_RAW capability.  The
longer version with changing effective user and group:

$ sudo execcap 'cap_net_raw=ep'  /sbin/sucap nobody nogroup ./pgm_remote_thr

On Debian these utilities are in the "libcap-bin" package.

Apparently in a future kernel version the following would work:

$ chattr +CAP_NET_RAW pgm_remote_thr
