Description Edwin Schepers 2008-10-21 15:42:16 EDT

Description of problem:
When I 'ping www.google.com' I get the message : ping: icmp open socket: Permission denied (translated)
Using root gives no problem. Using a normal user gives the error

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2008-10-21 19:07:36 EDT

This problem is still lasting with both the permissive mode and the enforce mode. There is SUID bit for ping missing. Then everything is all right.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2008-10-22 09:55:48 EDT

Edwin,  Are you using confined users?

id -Z

Comment 3 Edwin Schepers 2008-10-23 11:57:08 EDT

bash-3.2$ id -Z
unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023

Is that good or bad?

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2008-10-23 14:49:08 EDT

Good, is the suid bit for ping set?

chmod 4755 /bin/ping

Should fix.

This is not an SELinux bug.
