I don't think that's it. As far as I know, /usr/sbin/ping has always been setuid root. If that were the problem, the user wouldn't get "host unreachable," he'd get a permissions error. % id uid=1001(carlsonj) gid=10(staff) % ping -sn 127.0.0.1 PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0. time=0.077 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1. time=0.075 ms 64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2. time=0.067 ms ^C ----127.0.0.1 PING Statistics---- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip (ms) min/avg/max/stddev = 0.067/0.073/0.077/0.005 -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carls...@workingcode.com> _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
