 man ping
" This program is intended for use in network testing, measurement and man
   agement.  Because of the load it can impose on the network, it is unwise
   to use ping during normal operations or from automated scripts.

You don't want your users using ping.
Tell them to use their own computer (ISP)
AFAIK all computers have ping.
