Ping adapter only ever outputs false

[Mitch187]

Unfortunately I can't get the ping adapter to work. I have installed the IoBroker on an LXC-Debian which can also ping (normally with the call ping 192.168.15.1)

But it always shows false.

root@iobroker:~# ping 192.168.15.1
PING 192.168.15.1 (192.168.15.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.15.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.45 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.15.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.380 ms

Yey This seems to be something because of LXC ... we did not found the reason so far :-(

This console-commandos brings the solution:

chmod 4755 /bin/ping
reboot

[Apollon77]

I would reopen it becuas question is if we can fix that somehow automatically

[Mitch187]

Nice, thank you!

@Apollon77
I suggest to label as enhancement

[mcm1957]

4755 sets the SUID bit.
ping requires root rights, either by SUID bit or by setting cap_net_raw

eventually fixed with 1.6.4
