Not sure but I thought that the purpose of the the -user-net feature was
to remove the need for any superuser privileges or special host
configuration.
From what I understand user-mode networking is quite a feat to pull off,
with ICMP (e.g. ping(8)) being probably harder than TCP or UDP due to
the interfaces made available by the system to non-superusers. I have
not looked at the code but the suggestion has been made that it may even
be necessary to fork and exec the (setuid) /usr/ping executable.
I would suspect that, as previously mentioned, UDP is working but the
connection tracking of the TCP implementation is broken/incomplete in
some way.
