--- Comment #12 from Dick Porter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2007-10-16 07:15:58 MST --- Yes, the permissions issue is that on Linux (and probably other POSIX platforms) raw sockets require root priviledges. The standard ping binary is usually setuid root precisely for this reason. The classical ping DoS is the 'smurf', which uses forged broadcast pings. I tried running the test case with a fairly recent svn mono, and it works as expected for me: as non-root I get a permissions fail on both synchronous and asynchronous tests, using hostnames or IP addresses. As root it all works fine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug. _______________________________________________ mono-bugs maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-bugs
