What are the permissions on your /bin/ping? They should be set to suid and be owned by root. On my x86 ubuntu machine I see: 380 >ls -l /bin/ping -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 44168 May 7 14:51 /bin/ping* The s (rws) means setuid. -- Dave Hylands Shuswap, BC, Canada http://www.davehylands.com -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
