Thanks Jean-Paul for the reply. 

Yes, i'm aware of that,  but in my case, I need to run my application as root 
anyway because im using ip_queue to filter dhcp packets, and only root can do 
that.

So I was asking if there is any plans of expanding twisted, so a root-capable 
twisted application could ping the world!

I have little python and twisted skills , but if there is interest I could 
help in the develop.

Greetings,

BTW, the application I'm developing (and all my work actually) is released as 
Free Software. If anyone is interested in having it, just mail me or wait 
until I put a nice-little-project page on-line.

As allways: Pardon my English.
