Guest fyrekrig Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Is it possible to change the permission of "ping" command from root to user. If so, how can I do it? [moved from Software by spinynorman] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 you mean, you cant ping as a regular user, try to change the security level, try to set it to standard if you are using the box as desktop... mcc-security-level&check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmagoo Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Is it possible to change the permission of "ping" command from root to user. If so, how can I do it? What do you mean? The ping command needs a raw socket to send & receive packets. For this, it's usually installed setuid to root so any user can run it. If you can't run it as user, then check first that it's in your PATH or turn on the setuid bit :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
