Hello all!
Sorry, this loks like s tupid newbie question. After an all-nighter I am
a stupid [something] but anyway:
I'm trying to run ping as a user, i.e. logged in as myself and not su'd
to root where of course I have no problem running ping. As root, I
chgrp'd ping and chown'd ping to my username to be able to run it
without being root all the time which IMHO is a bad idea.
I'm still getting the same error message even after chgrp'ing and
chown'ing the thing.
[Tired Question] Can anyone tell me what the heck I'm missing here?
Regards,
-Colin
