#24491 [Opn->Fbk]: Net_ping Operation not permitted

ID: 24491 Updated by: ohill@php.net Reported By: ad1 at poorman dot org -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: FreeBSD 4.8Rc1 PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: This seems to be a problem with the ping utility that comes with FreeBSD. This ping requires a different set of arguments. The -w option is replaced by a -t one for defining a "timeout" to wait. As for the permissions, FreeBSD seems to prohibit a custom packet size from normal users. A quick fix would be to replace this line: $cmd = $this->ping_path." $q -c $counts -s $packet_size -w $maxwait $host"; With this one in the package: $cmd = $this->ping_path." $q -c $counts -t $maxwait $host"; Note that this will work only while using FreeBSD!
