Hello all,

Just wondering how to use the 770 to ping other devices. I have x-term and iputils installed but no ping command can be found. Am I missing something? I've searched all over this site and have yet to come across any info on this topic, but if I've missed something point it to me.

Thanks,

Ray

it's located in /var/lib/install/usr/bin/ping

try that ;-)
Next - you should be able to add /var/lib/install/usr/bin/ to your .profile, or just link it to /usr/bin/ping

I have a strange situation onjuist my 770. The ping tool is located in /mnt/inits/bin. It's linked to the busybox located too in this directory. Doing help in the shell gives an overview of the busybox commands. Ping is not in this list(?)

ploum,

Crafting a ping packet requires root privileges, but an Application Installer package in the 2005 OS can't have a binary setuid root.

You'll need to, as root, do something along the lines of:

Code:
chown root /var/lib/install/usr/bin/ping
chmod u+s /var/lib/install/usr/bin/ping
HTH,

Andrew

Indeed, I was guessing it was something like that. But I'm not root for now and I think I will stay a bit this way ;-)

Just change your permissions in Sudoer and then you can use Sudo for root powers in production mode.
