What were you trying to do?
Run /usr/sbin/ping
What's wrong:
I couldn't, because I didn't have the appropriate permissions.
What should have happened:
I should have been able to run the ping command.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Are these the correct permissions for ping? Here's the info for one
of the dialup machines:
% uname -a
SunOS ten-thousand-dollar-bill 5.4 Generic_101945-37 sun4m sparc
% ll /usr/sbin/ping
-r-s------ 1 root bin 17968 Jul 15 1994 /usr/sbin/ping*
Here's the info for one of our Solaris machines at my workplace:
% uname -a
SunOS kimzirra 5.4 Generic_101945-50 sun4c sparc
% ll /usr/sbin/ping
