Hi Olivia,

Now we cannot use the ping command from inside(logged in via SSH), but we have plan to optimize the feature, thank you for your feedback.

Hello @forrest,

 

ping requiring root permissions was a bug introduced into some Linux distros due to the package maintainers not updating the ping/busybox packages when kernel policy did change.

 

You can correct this by replacing busybox ping with the standard command and either setting the SETUID bit for ping or by granting ping the right to use raw sockets if your Linux version running on EAP supports extended file attributes. Newer Linux distros have corrected this bug in the ping package already.

 

See https://superuser.com/questions/1035977/why-does-ping-require-the-setuid-bit for more info on this.

Hi R1D2,

Thanks for your suggestion. Now we have a limit for the ping command in our EAP products; we will consider opening this feature up.
