Raspi 3 ping

k5at over 9 years ago

on all my Raspi 2's, I can open a terminal window and ping either a IP address for a domain name.

I have to be in root to do so on the Raspi 3. What gives?

I don't share that behavior. I can ping as the pi user without the need to sudo or anything.

BTW, is this via the RJ45 port or the WiFi?

That is odd. The image I had installed was: 2016-02-26-raspbian-jessie.img
I have done no updates, and I can ping as a non-privileged user - I tried the default 'pi' user, and also a user I had created, and both are fine.
Unfortunately I've not tried other ways of installing it (e.g. NOOBS).
Can you try this, and see what it reveals regarding permissions and date stamp:
ls -ald /bin/ping
I see:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 38844 Feb 12 2014 /bin/ping

I'm using RJ45. I wonder if this is related to your other issue. Something about permissions on the WiFi device.

I have read now that this is a bug in the latest build.

Ok that means you are on the bleeding edge of firmware.
